We love the challenge of balancing powerful AI with real human connection
But we believe that balance should be simple to achieve. Instead of open-ended, messy engagements, HeyMandy.AI fast-tracks hiring teams past vendor sales pitches straight to a fully integrated, compliant hiring workflow.
Amanda Burggraff
Director & Founder
Amanda is an international talent acquisition professional with over a decade of experience. She has worked both in-house and agency-side, which means she knows recruitment from every angle - the pressure on hiring managers, the workload on recruiters, and the experience of the candidate on the other end of the process.
In today's quickly evolving environment, the landscape has shifted: candidates are now equally utilizing AI tools to optimize their applications, forcing employers to accelerate their own capabilities just to keep up. Her core focus is navigating this rapid change while maintaining a deep commitment to a personal, candidate-first experience. While Amanda recognizes that AI creates immense operational efficiencies, she remains firm that direct, human touchpoints are still critical to building real trust and a credible brand.
Ultimately, her focus is the human-tech balance. Amanda is genuinely enthusiastic about what AI can do for hiring teams, and equally clear that automation must never come at the cost of fairness, privacy, or candidate dignity. That perspective shapes every recommendation she makes.
She founded HeyMandy.AI to give hiring teams an independent advisor rather than another vendor: someone who understands recruitment operations deeply, evaluates tools honestly, and stays involved long enough to see the results land.
