Humanly

AI-driven recruitment platform automating screening

Overview

Humanly provides an AI platform that automates the initial stages of the hiring process, such as candidate screening and interview scheduling. The platform uses an embeddable, multi-language chatbot that interacts with applicants on job boards and social media to qualify candidates and book meetings automatically. Unlike traditional recruitment tools, Humanly focuses on saving recruiters up to 60 hours per position while maintaining a high candidate satisfaction score through responsive, automated communication. The company's goal is to increase hiring efficiency and improve the candidate experience by removing administrative burdens from HR teams.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Frontline hiring focus targets healthcare, retail, logistics, hospitality, and customer support.
  • Outcome-based pricing reduces buyer friction for staffing-heavy employers.
  • Post-hire engagement and retention tools expand revenue beyond initial recruitment.

What critics are saying

  • Established ATS and HCM vendors can bundle similar screening features cheaply.
  • Outcome-based pricing compresses margins if hiring volumes fall or customers resist.
  • Marketplace expansion creates liquidity risk if candidate supply or employer demand weakens.

What makes Humanly unique

  • AI Recruiter and CRM automate end-to-end high-volume hiring workflows.
  • Structured interviews create consistent evaluations and clearer evidence for hiring decisions.
  • The company is expanding into service-as-software, delivering pre-vetted candidates directly.

Humanly raises $25M Series B to transform frontline hiring.

Humanly raises $25M Series B to transform frontline hiring. on May 26, 2026 4 min. read Today marks an exciting milestone for Humanly. Humanly HR Inc. is proud to announce that Humanly has raised a $25 million Series B led by SEEK Investments, with new strategic participation from MassMutual Catalyst Fund and follow-on capital from existing investors Drive Capital and Zeal Capital Partners in continued support of the company's future growth. This funding will help Humanly HR Inc. accelerate its mission: helping companies hire faster, retain talent, and stay fully staffed through AI-powered hiring infrastructure designed specifically for frontline, hourly, and high-volume recruiting. Hiring has become a speed problem. Across industries like healthcare, retail, logistics, hospitality, and customer support, hiring teams are under constant pressure to fill roles quickly while maintaining a strong candidate experience. But most recruiting systems were never built for the realities of high-volume hiring. Recruiters are overwhelmed with repetitive work. Candidates are left waiting days for responses. Qualified applicants drop out before interviews even happen. And companies struggle to maintain the staffing levels needed to operate effectively. The result is a hiring process that is too slow, too manual, and increasingly difficult to scale. Humanly HR Inc. believe AI changes that. Building AI infrastructure for hiring. At Humanly, Humanly HR Inc. is building AI hiring infrastructure that helps companies engage every applicant, qualify candidates efficiently, and move people through the hiring process faster. Its platform combines: * AI Recruiter to engage, screen, and schedule candidates 24/7 * AI Interviewer to conduct structured interviews at scale * CRM capabilities to build talent pools and re-engage candidates through SMS and email * ATS workflows to manage pipelines, hiring decisions, and recruiter operations in one system Today, Humanly engages more than 250,000 candidates each month and has conducted over five million interviews. Across its customers, teams are seeing: * Up to 8x faster time-to-hire * 20+ hours saved per recruiter every week * Candidate experience scores averaging 4.8 out of 5 * Up to 82% improvement in 90-day retention rates Humanly's structured interviewing approach also helps companies create more consistent candidate evaluations, contributing to stronger retention outcomes over time. Most importantly, companies can maintain stronger staffing levels while providing candidates with a faster, more responsive hiring experience. From software to hiring outcomes. Recruiting teams don't want more disconnected tools. They want systems that actually help them hire. That shift is shaping how Humanly HR Inc. think about the future of Humanly. Humanly HR Inc. is expanding beyond automation software toward a service-as-software model where hiring outcomes are delivered, not just enabled. That means helping customers maintain a reliable flow of qualified candidates through continuous engagement, structured evaluation, and intelligent automation throughout the hiring lifecycle. Humanly HR Inc. is also evolving its pricing models to align more directly with customer outcomes through options like pay-per-candidate and pay-per-hire. What comes next. This new funding will help Humanly HR Inc. continue investing in: * conversational AI across chat, phone, and video * candidate engagement and re-engagement * end-to-end hiring infrastructure * workforce retention and staffing outcomes * scalable automation for frontline and hourly hiring Humanly HR Inc. is incredibly grateful to its customers, partners, investors, and team for helping Humanly HR Inc. reach this point. Hiring is one of the most important operational challenges businesses face today, and Humanly HR Inc. believe AI will fundamentally reshape how companies build and retain their workforce. Humanly HR Inc. is just getting started. On this page

Humanly raises $25M to deliver pre-vetted job seekers on demand with AI interviewing tools

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.
