Humanly, an AI-powered conversational recruiting platform, has raised a $7 million momentum funding round to accelerate growth and innovation in inclusive hiring. With a proprietary platform that screens and schedules over 250,000 candidates monthly and cuts time-to-hire from 44 to just 5 days, Humanly is transforming the hiring process for enterprise and mid-market clients. The company has now raised a total of $24 million and plans to expand its GTM strategy and product capabilities.

Humanly, a Seattle-based AI startup transforming talent acquisition through conversational recruiting automation, has raised $7 million in a Momentum Round to expand its go-to-market efforts and product innovation. The company, which uses AI to screen and schedule over 250,000 candidates monthly, aims to drastically reduce time-to-hire and improve candidate experience across enterprise and mid-market organizations.

This round brings Humanly’s total funding to $24 million and includes participation from Drive Capital, Y Combinator, Zeal Capital, Spark Growth Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. It also drew support from respected angel investors such as DocuSign founder Tom Gonser, former Microsoft CHRO Lisa Brummel, and Qualtrics engineering leader John Thimsen.

Humanly’s AI platform conducts automated candidate screening, interview scheduling, and engagement, helping companies cut the average hiring cycle from 44 days to just 5—without compromising on quality or experience. The company has completed over 5 million AI-powered interviews and maintains a 4.8 out of 5 candidate satisfaction rating.

“Our mission is to help every candidate feel heard and every company hire with confidence,” said Humanly Co-founder and CEO. “By combining responsible AI with structured conversation data, we’re redefining how hiring gets done—more inclusive, more efficient, and more human.”

What Is a “Momentum Round”?

While not a standard financing term like Series A or B, a "Momentum Round" typically refers to a capital infusion between early and growth stages. For Humanly, this round follows two record quarters and signals investor confidence in the company’s product-market fit and execution strategy. The capital will support product expansion, team growth, and deeper integration with existing HR tech ecosystems.

The Road Ahead

Currently a 36-person team, Humanly plans to expand its workforce across engineering, sales, and customer success functions. The company’s roadmap includes refining its AI-matching algorithms, enhancing enterprise integrations, and scaling up its analytics suite to offer real-time hiring insights for people teams.

In a hiring landscape shaped by labor shortages and demand for speed, Humanly positions itself as a leader in intelligent recruiting automation. With its latest round of funding, the company is set to deepen its impact on how companies connect with talent—and how candidates experience hiring.
