Findem, the AI platform for talent outcomes, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Glider AI, a skills validation platform. Together, the companies will deliver an AI-powered hiring solution that produces hire-ready candidates—candidates who are discovered, assessed and verified before they reach hiring managers.

"AI is rewriting how hiring markets will operate," said Josh Bersin, Global Industry Analyst and CEO of The Josh Bersin Company. "For decades, recruiting relied on fragmented tools and layers of suppliers. Today AI-powered platforms can focus on results, not process. Companies like Findem are helping move the market in this direction."
The acquisition unites Findem's proprietary Labeling Engine—which converts billions of unstructured data points into verified Success Signals and Relationship Signals—with Glider AI's validation capabilities, including skills assessments, autonomous AI interviews, and identity verification. This creates a seamless AI-driven process that eliminates disconnected tools, preserves critical context, and enables more confident, skills-based hiring decisions.
"Companies do not buy recruiting technology because they want better workflows – they buy it because they need great hires," said Hari Kolam, CEO of Findem. "Too often, hiring depends on stitching together disconnected tools and processes, and critical context gets lost along the way. Bringing Findem's talent AI together with Glider's validation capabilities creates a single solution that produces more confident hiring decisions. That's the outcome AI should deliver."
"Hiring breaks down when the signals used to evaluate candidates can't be trusted," said Satish Kumar, CEO of Glider AI. "Glider delivers trust in who customers hire through verified skills and identity. Combined with Findem talent AI, organizations can now move beyond traditional hiring to proven, skills-based outcomes."
The combined solution targets inefficiencies in the $650 billion staffing market, where enterprises often depend on multiple vendors for sourcing, curation, compliance, and qualification. By autonomously handling discovery, assessment, and verification in one platform, Findem reduces supplier fragmentation, lowers costs, and allows organizations to redirect savings toward competitive compensation and talent attraction.
"Contingent hiring has historically relied on fragmented systems and manual processes," said Doug Leeby, CEO of Beeline. "The industry is beginning to explore platforms that can more intelligently discover, evaluate and verify candidates. Approaches that help organizations connect with qualified, hire-ready talent more efficiently represent an important step forward for enterprises and the global workforce."
Findem will introduce outcome-aligned pricing linked to actual hires, underscoring its focus on delivering tangible results rather than traditional subscription models. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, with closing anticipated in the coming weeks subject to standard conditions.
This strategic move accelerates the transition toward AI-powered, results-oriented talent acquisition, enabling enterprises to achieve faster, fairer, and more predictable hiring outcomes.
