AMSTERDAM, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recruitment AI
company Carv, today announced it secured $10M in seed funding, following the launch of its
recruitment platform in March and the significant traction the
company has experienced since. Among the investors are Global
Founders Capital (GFC) and several independent angel investors who
previously backed companies like Slack, Miro and Revolut. With the
funding, Carv aims to accelerate its growth and expand the
capabilities of its platform into different domains of the
recruitment life cycle.

With its platform, Carv addresses one of the most pressing
challenges in todays' talent acquisition space: recruitment has
become synonymous with administrative work. Industry data
shows that anywhere between 20% to 40% of a recruiter's day to
day is spent on admin tasks; an unfortunate characteristic of the
job that sits at the heart of many other challenges recruiters
face. With Carv, these time-consuming admin tasks can now be fully
delegated to a personalized AI, freeing up recruiters to focus on
what matters most; the candidates they interact with.
"We often talk about the future of AI in recruitment on an
abstract level. With Carv we make it tangible." says
co-founder Barend Raaff.
"Enabling recruiters to delegate the tasks they shouldn't spend
time on to Carv is a first step towards a reality of integrated AI.
One that delivers instant benefits, and simultaneously opens the
door to the fundamental rethinking of the hiring process in a later
stage."
In its current form, Carv is able to take on any admin task a
recruiter may have. By joining meetings, taking in the context, and
applying the style and tone of voice the recruiter would normally
use, Carv is not only faster in execution but also able to hold a
higher quality standard. From writing job descriptions and taking
interview notes, to populating ATS systems and creating candidate
write-ups, Carv can do it in seconds instead of hours.
But this is just a first step towards completing the vision the
Carv founders have laid out. Once recruiters are accustomed to
collaborating with integrated AI, the company envisions a push for
true recruiter-AI synergy, aimed at bringing the human element back
to the forefront of the recruitment process.
"In the years to come, AI will impact every stage of the
hiring cycle. In a human-centric process like recruitment, finding
the balance between humans and AI is key. With Carv, we're working
towards a reality where there's optimal synergy between recruiter
and AI. Where each takes on the tasks they excel in and strengthens
each other in doing so."
The team behind Carv is no stranger to recruitment innovation.
The founding team previously built Harver, a market leader in
digital hiring technology, and are now channeling their expertise
and insight into Carv. Their track record and Carv's current
traction in the market have attracted significant investor
attention, culminating in the substantial €10M seed round.
