IIA Healthcare – an Intelligent Interview Management solution for healthcare organizations – announced its acquisition of Gritly. This platform utilizes data to create a more equitable candidate experience and make hiring easier for employers. And this strategic move combines the power of both platforms, creating a comprehensive solution for healthcare recruitment and talent management.
The healthcare industry also increasingly recognizes the importance of efficient recruitment processes and positive candidate experiences. And IIA Healthcare and Gritly share a common mission to revolutionize the hiring process by leveraging artificial intelligence and other advanced technology.
Through this acquisition, the companies’ combined platform will address these needs, offering a centralized solution that streamlines the recruitment process, enhances candidate engagement and selection, and ultimately helps healthcare organizations attract and retain quality talent that will positively impact the quality of care.
This deal comes amid IIA Healthcare’s announcement that it is raising a $2 million Seed II Round led by their lead investor, DEMI Fund. And since being founded in 2020, the company has experienced significant momentum, including being selected for Google for Startups’ Black Founders Fund – which previously welcomed Gritly as part of its 2022 Latino Founders Fund cohort.
This growing investment and success are poised to drive the company’s growth, enabling it to expand its AI capabilities and automation enhancements to continuously improve outcomes for hiring organizations and candidates.
