Ross Overstreet is the co-founder and CTO of Talent Pronto, an AI-powered hiring platform that gives every applicant a real first-round interview. The company's AI interviewer, Anna, conducts structured screening conversations with candidates, scores them against role-specific rubrics, and writes results directly back into the systems recruiters already use, with live integrations across Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Oracle Fusion, and other leading ATS platforms. Under his technical leadership, Talent Pronto has built a partner ecosystem spanning major marketplaces.

Ross is a second-time founder. In 2002 he co-founded Rev.io, a B2B fintech platform for billing and payments. He bootstrapped the company for nearly two decades as founder and CTO before exiting through an $88 million recapitalization in 2021. During his tenure Rev.io was named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies 8 times, and the company continues to thrive today with more than 200 employees. That experience shaped his approach at Talent Pronto: build durable technology, stay close to customers, and let revenue fund growth.

His work sits at the intersection of and one of the most human processes in business, hiring. He believes candidates deserve a fair shot at telling their story and that deserve better signal than a resume can provide. Talent Pronto exists to deliver both.

Ross lives on the Florida Gulf Coast in with his wife, Jena, and their four sons. Outside of work he is a dedicated photographer and boater.

Get you ticket to view this Keynote speaker’s session covering what it takes to make an LLM-powered agent consistent enough to trust with consequential decisions: designing rubrics that constrain and structure AI judgment, catching hallucinations and drift before they reach a hiring manager, handling candidates who try to manipulate or jailbreak the interviewer, and navigating bias and compliance questions that come with AI in hiring.
