People at Wackowave

I spent 25 years in US technology staffing watching good firms lose great clients over fabricated resumes that passed every manual screen. The candidate looked perfect on paper. The timeline was fiction. Background checks happen after offer — by then the damage is already done. You've presented the candidate, the client has formed an opinion, and when the check fails, you don't just lose the placement. You lose the relationship. I built WackoWave because the problem was solvable and nobody had solved it. Not a screening tool. Not an ATS plugin. A forensic verification layer that runs before you decide — in 30 seconds, on every profile. The team we're building shares one belief: that the staffing industry deserves better than hoping candidates are who they say they are. We encode institutional knowledge into AI so that every firm — regardless of size — has the same forensic capability that used to require 25 years of experience to develop. If you're joining WackoWave, you're building something that changes how the world's largest industry makes its most consequential decisions. — Navneet Chalana, Founder & CEO
