About
A recent CS grad applied online to 50 companies. Zero responses. Then he printed and mailed the same resume to the same hiring managers. 15 responded. That's the gap between the digital black hole and a real desk.
Ballista is two things:
An AI-powered targeting engine with analog delivery. Our system uses reasoning models and live data to find the actual hiring manager and their office address - not the careers@ inbox. Then we print your resume on premium paper and mail it via USPS. They can't ghost what's sitting on their desk.
A movement for human-first hiring. We're building a community and trust layer around human-made resumes. Companies will partner with us to signal they actually read applications. Job seekers will have a verified way to prove their resume wasn't AI-generated slop.

The trust authority for human talent in an AI-flooded market.
Why Now
Every company just added AI resume screening. Every candidate just started using AI to generate applications. The signal-to-noise ratio is collapsing. Physical mail is the contrarian bet that cuts through.
