Take2, an AI agents platform built for healthcare recruiting, announced it has raised a $14 million Series A round led by Human Capital, with participation from Bertelsmann Healthcare Investments, Reach Capital, SemperVirens VC and Honeystone Ventures. Take2 is positioning its platform as a response to what it describes as a healthcare hiring breaking point, citing high turnover, significant vacancy costs, and recruiting workflows that remain heavily manual. The company said its autonomous AI agents are designed to automate core recruiting work rather than simply assist recruiters.
The company’s first agent, the AI Interviewer, conducts phone interviews with candidates around the clock, evaluates them, records calls, and syncs results into applicant tracking systems without a human in the loop. Take2 said the platform is trained on healthcare-specific hiring data and is intended to assess candidates more accurately while generating predictive insights to improve hiring quality and long-term retention. The company said it is seeing growing adoption and serves leading healthcare organizations, including some of the largest health systems in the United States.
Take2 said it will use the Series A proceeds to expand beyond interviews into a broader network of AI agents intended to automate more of the recruiting funnel, including sourcing, screening, credential verification, scheduling and employee onboarding. The company said the goal is to help healthcare organizations save millions of dollars annually while improving quality of hire and employee retention.
