Hired, the Recruiting Platform that Connects Top Talent with Top Companies, Raises Another $30 Million in Series D Funding

Hired, the leading recruiting platform that matches top talent with the world's most innovative companies, announced today that it has raised another $30 million in Series D funding. The round was led by Investment Group of Santa Barbara (IGSB), with participation from existing investors including Lumia Capital, Sierra Ventures, Crosslink Capital and others.

The new funding will help Hired expand its global presence, launch new products and services, and continue to deliver on its mission of creating a more transparent and efficient hiring market. Hired currently operates in 18 cities across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and has helped over 10,000 companies find and hire more than 100,000 candidates.

\"Hiring is one of the most critical and challenging aspects of running a business. Yet, the traditional recruiting process is often slow, inefficient and frustrating for both employers and candidates,\" said Mehul Patel, CEO of Hired. \"Hired is transforming the way companies hire by using data-driven insights, personalized matching and transparent feedback to connect them with the best talent in the market.\"

Hired leverages its proprietary algorithm and machine learning capabilities to match candidates with relevant job opportunities based on their skills, preferences and potential. Candidates on Hired receive multiple interview requests from top employers within a week, along with salary and equity information upfront. Employers on Hired benefit from access to a curated pool of pre-vetted talent, as well as insights and analytics to optimize their hiring strategy.

\"We are impressed by Hired's vision, execution and growth in the highly competitive recruiting space. Hired has built a unique platform that delivers value to both sides of the hiring equation by providing transparency, efficiency and quality,\" said John M. Bode, Managing Director of IGSB. \"We are excited to partner with Hired as they continue to scale and innovate.\"

According to a recent report by Glassdoor, the average time to hire in the U.S. is 23.8 days, and the cost per hire is $4,129. Hired aims to reduce these numbers by streamlining the hiring process and eliminating the need for multiple intermediaries such as recruiters, job boards and agencies.

\"Hired has been a game-changer for us. We have been able to hire faster and smarter, and attract top talent that we would not have reached otherwise,\" said Ryan Holmes, CEO of Hootsuite, one of Hired's customers. \"Hired has also helped us improve our employer brand and diversity by showcasing our culture, values and mission to potential candidates.\"

Hired also offers a range of tools and resources to help candidates and employers succeed in the hiring process. These include Hired Assessments, a platform that allows candidates to showcase their skills and employers to evaluate them objectively; Hired Career Coaching, a service that provides personalized guidance and feedback to candidates; and Hired Insights, a dashboard that provides employers with data and insights on hiring trends, talent supply and demand, and salary benchmarks. aa16f39245
