AI powered Job Search Platform Hiration raises INR 21 crore led by Prime Venture Partners & Others
Hiration, an artificial intelligence-powered job search platform, has raised Rs 21 crore ($3 million) in funding from Prime Venture Partners, Venture Highway, and Y Combinator.
According to a press release, the company will use the new funds to further develop its product, scale its operations in India and the United States, and hire across functions.
Hiration, founded in 2017 by Anish Raj Sikka and Aditya Sharma, assists qualified candidates in writing resumes that are customised to ensure that they pass through today's tech-powered candidate review tools and reach those doing the hiring.
While resume writing, optimization, and design are at the heart of Hiration's offering, the platform's customised flow also helps job seekers through the various stages of finding a job, such as writing cover letters, creating online portfolios, optimising LinkedIn profiles, and preparing for interviews.
“While people invest time and money learning the skills for their jobs, they aren’t taught how to excel at the hiring process. This is a huge opportunity for Hiration to impact one billion professionals who change jobs every year. We want to offer the same technology to job candidates and offer tools to those who may otherwise have been overlooked because they didn’t have access to the same resources or training,” said Anish Raj Sikka, cofounder and CEO, Hiration.
Over 500,000 customers and more than 75 universities have already benefited from the company's services. It is currently operational in India and the United States, and in addition to directly assisting professionals, the company collaborates with over 75 leading universities, including IIT Madras, Stanford University, and Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), as well as edtech companies such as UpGrad, Times Learning, and Pearson edureka and others.
“Artificial intelligence will have as much if not more impact on our lives than even the internet. Hiration is using AI and ML to help job seekers auto-magically create resumes from scratch with little to no human intervention,” said Amit Somani, managing partner, Prime Venture Partners.
“While multiple players are solving for recruiters, we have not come across platforms which are focused on candidates and meaningfully solve for the entire candidate employment journey,” said Samir Sood.
