Humanly has acquired CareerArc, combining CareerArc’s recruitment marketing technology with Humanly’s AI-powered candidate engagement, screening, interviewing, and hiring platform.
The acquisition aims to connect more of the high-volume recruiting process, from attracting potential candidates through screening, interviewing, and moving qualified candidates toward employment. 1
Humanly said large employers frequently rely on disconnected systems across recruiting, including job boards, application-processing software, hiring agencies, recruitment marketing products, and candidate communication tools. By bringing CareerArc into its platform, Humanly plans to create a more continuous recruiting system that helps employers identify and engage potential applicants before positions become difficult to fill.
CareerArc’s portfolio includes HireSocial, a social recruiting platform used by talent acquisition teams, and Job Maps, an interactive career-site experience that helps candidates discover job opportunities based on location.
Humanly’s existing platform engages, screens, and interviews high-volume candidates around the clock through chat, phone, and video. The combination is intended to connect CareerArc’s recruitment marketing capabilities with Humanly’s conversational AI and hiring technology.
The companies are targeting employers that regularly hire large numbers of workers and need to maintain a steady pipeline of qualified candidates. Humanly sees the acquisition as part of a broader strategy to create an always-on recruiting infrastructure rather than a collection of tools activated only after an opening appears.
World Flight Services is an existing customer of both Humanly and CareerArc, demonstrating how the companies’ capabilities can operate together across the hiring process.
Humanly plans to integrate CareerArc more deeply into its platform so employers can connect candidate discovery, engagement, screening, interviewing, and conversion through a more unified experience.
KEY QUOTES:
“High volume employers have had to piece together their hiring process with a collection of disconnected tools such as job boards to find candidates, software to process applications, and agencies to fill the gaps. CareerArc allows us to reach candidates earlier.”
Prem Kumar, CEO And Co-Founder Of Humanly
“CareerArc helps us reach and attract candidates, while Humanly helps us engage and move those candidates through the hiring process. Bringing those capabilities together makes a lot of sense for organizations like ours that are hiring at scale.”
Jason Leath, VP Of Talent Acquisition At World Flight Services
“Recruiting technology has historically been built around individual steps in the funnel. We see an opportunity to connect those steps and help employers move from finding candidates to filling roles with far less friction.”
Prem Kumar, CEO And Co-Founder Of Humanly
