Silicon Valley Robotics Startup Rejects 99.76% of Humans Like It’s Dating
KEY POINTS
- •Since beginning in 2022, Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock said they received 176,000 job applications but hired only about 425 people.
- •Adcock described the application review process as painfully slow, going through each résumé 'one by one like a monkey,' calling most résumés 'slop.'
- •Despite raising over $1 billion in Series C funding and valuing the company at $39 billion, Figure AI’s acceptance rate remains an astonishing .24%.
Figure AI, that charming little robot startup launched in 2022, proudly admits it’s flattered by 176,000 résumés but brutally rejected 175,575 because, in CEO Brett Adcock’s words, most were “slop.” Hiring a mere 425 folks means their acceptance rate is a stingier 0.24% than Caltech’s 3%, proving they’re cooler at saying no than an awkward Tinder date. Adcock bemoaned sorting through applications ‘one by one like a monkey’ and lamented the ATS software’s 20 seconds per terrible résumé drag, despite $1 billion Series C cash and a $39 billion valuation backing their robo-empire. Now, his master plan? ‘Maybe I’ll build a model to judge the garbage.’

Applied to Figure AI and got rejected faster than you can say ‘algorithmic HR nightmare.’ Turns out ‘slop’ isn’t just a lunch option, it’s your résumé’s new classification.
At 0.24% acceptance, Figure AI rejects more humans than Skynet ever dreamed. Robots aren’t just taking jobs, they’re dignity too.
Applying to Figure AI is like trying to score Coachella tickets—except the lineup is filled with automated monkey clicks.
