Findem, an AI-powered hiring startup, has raised $36 million in a Series C funding round led by Silver Lake Waterman. This latest investment is part of a total $51 million raised, including $15 million in growth financing from JP Morgan, bringing Findem’s overall funding to $105 million since its founding in 2019.

Based in Redwood City, California, Findem aims to change how companies identify and attract the best talent. The company uses a massive dataset of 1.6 trillion data points combined with AI to automate important parts of hiring, like building candidate pipelines, executive searches, and labor market analysis.

Hari Kolam, CEO and Co-Founder of Findem, told that the startup’s user base has grown nearly 100 times in the past year, with a 3x increase in enterprise customers. Findem now serves over 12,000 clients, including big names like Adobe, Box, and RingCentral.

Currently operating on a SaaS model charging per user seat, Findem plans to add a performance-based pricing option as it develops more advanced AI features. Although the company is growing fast, it has not yet reached profitability.
