Humanly
AI Recruiter that autonomously runs top-of-funnel: engage, screen, schedule, and interview.
Humanly is an AI hiring platform built for hourly, frontline, and high volume recruiting. It brings together an AI Recruiter, an AI Interviewer, a Talent CRM, and an applicant tracking system in one place, managing the hiring lifecycle from a candidate's first interaction through the interview and the hiring decision. Customers include Microsoft, Domino's, Massage Envy, Worldwide Flight Services, and MGM Resorts.
At the core is an agentic AI Recruiter that works the top of the funnel on its own, around the clock. Instead of waiting for a recruiter's command, it engages each applicant instantly over SMS, web chat, email, phone, or video. It asks qualification questions, scores the answers against a rubric and a set of knockout criteria, and books the interview the moment a candidate passes by syncing directly with the calendars of recruiters and hiring managers.
The goal is to remove the manual scheduling and coordination that slows hiring at volume and leads to no shows. Humanly pairs that speed with structure and fairness. Every applicant is screened with the same questions and criteria, and each interaction is standardized and auditable so teams can meet EEOC expectations.
The company also works with Microsoft on a neurodiversity hiring program that uses an AI avatar coach to help candidates practice interviews. A separate product for job seekers offers coaching on interview preparation, resume writing, and salary negotiation.
The platform runs at scale, engaging more than 250,000 candidates a month and conducting over 5 million interviews, with recruiters reportedly saving 20 or more hours a week. Founded in the Seattle area and led by CEO Prem Kumar, Humanly raised a $25 million Series B in May 2026 from SEEK Investments, Drive Capital, MassMutual Catalyst Fund, and Zeal Capital Partners, after a $12 million Series A led by Drive Capital.
Humanly is repositioning around what it calls a service as software model. Its pricing options tie cost to outcomes, such as paying per qualified candidate or per hire, so employers pay for hiring results rather than software seats.

Integrations
Unifies an AI Recruiter, AI Interviewer, Talent CRM, and ATS in one platform, engaging candidates across SMS, web chat, email, phone, and video. It syncs with the calendars of recruiters and hiring managers to book interviews automatically, and writes back to the ATS so screening data, dispositions, and transcripts stay in one auditable record. Governance is built in, with standardized records that help teams meet EEOC expectations.
In practice
An applicant fills out your req at midnight and your team won't see it until morning. Humanly's AI Recruiter engages them right away over SMS or chat, screens against your knockout criteria, and books the interview before they cool off.
Scheduling at volume turns into a no-show machine. Humanly books the interview the moment a candidate passes by syncing directly with recruiter and hiring-manager calendars, removing the back-and-forth that loses people.
You need every applicant screened the same way for EEOC. Humanly asks each candidate the same questions against the same criteria, and every interaction is standardized and auditable.
