Flo Recruit, a connected suite of legal talent software, announced it has closed a Series A round led by LiveOak Ventures and Moneta Ventures with participation from The LegalTech Fund, Y Combinator, and Teamworthy Ventures.
What Flo Recruit does: Flo is where top legal talent navigate their careers. And the company’s applicant tracking system (ATS), pipeline building, and career services solutions equip clients to excel in modern legal recruiting, from summer associate to partner.
Flo Recruit platform data shows law student interview timelines shifting year over year, with a 665% volume increase in April 2025 compared to April 2024. And earlier entry-level recruitment has pressured law students, schools, and firms alike to adapt , prompting the launch of Flo Forward, a legal career platform centralizing 103 firm profiles, 1,135 networking opportunities, and 818 job listings to date. This market also anticipates increased lateral movement among junior associates, driven by faster decision-making early in their careers.
Momentum: Now over 125 law firms — including nearly 70% of the AmLaw 100 — use Flo Recruit to find and hire legal talent. More than 100 law schools and consortiums, including 85% of the top 50 ranked schools, run campus programs on Flo Recruit and help bring Flo Forward to life, resulting in over 25,000 student users to date.
How the funding will be used: Flo Recruit plans to use the funds to expand its career services solutions for law schools and talent solutions for law firm entry-level, lateral associate, and partner hiring.
KEY QUOTES:
“Flo Recruit’s clients are seeking transparency as recruitment channels expand beyond traditional campus programs and reliance on agencies. Flo has a unique ability to solve this problem because we partner with all sides of the talent market. That brings powerful connections and data insight.”
Katherine Allen, Co-Founder and CEO
