ROCKET, A STARTUP THAT BUILDS AI-based tools for recruiters and offers recruitment services of its own, had been on the verge of profitability when the coronavirus pandemic hit.

It gathered data on layoffs, had its AI software and recruiters clean up the data and make it easier to navigate, and launched a new job portal, dubbed Parachute. • Here's what Rocket cofounder and CEO Abhinav Agrawal had to say when IEEE Spectrum talked to him about the pandemic's effect on tech jobs and creating Parachute.
