Humanly's AI Recruiter and Talent CRM engage, screen, schedule, and interview candidates—automating high-volume hiring so teams hire up to 8x faster.
Humanly has raised $25 million to expand beyond its AI-powered interviewing tools for employers. The company is repositioning itself to serve both sides of the hiring process, delivering pre-vetted, ready-to-hire job seekers directly to companies. CEO Prem Kumar says the shift aims to provide recruiters with qualified candidates on demand, rather than simply offering tools to find and screen applicants. The funding will support this strategic pivot from a pure employer-focused platform to one that actively assists job seekers whilst connecting them with hiring companies.
Seattle-based Humanly has acquired Charleston startup Sprockets, along with Indiana-based Qualifi and Boston-based HourWork, to create an end-to-end AI hiring solution. This acquisition enhances Humanly's platform with Sprockets' talent pipeline tools, Qualifi's automated screening, and HourWork's conversational AI for onboarding and training. The move is timely as employers and the hourly workforce adapt to AI's impact on hiring, according to Humanly CEO Prem Kumar.
