Humanly has announced the acquisitions of Sprockets, Qualifi, and HourWork, merging these category leaders to form a comprehensive end-to-end AI hiring solution. This unified platform will empower Fortune 500 enterprises, mid-market firms, and high-growth companies with a seamless system for sourcing, screening, interviewing, hiring, and retaining talent efficiently.
This announcement arrives amid challenges for employers facing surges in AI-enabled applications alongside persistent high turnover and pressure to expand hiring capacity without increasing staff. Humanly's strategy consolidates expertise to deliver the market's most robust AI recruiting platform, streamlining operations across the talent lifecycle.
Sprockets contributes its hiring platform, frontline manager application, and sourcing and screening suites, integrating with Humanly's conversational AI to strengthen talent pipelines and enable more precise selection of best-fit candidates for businesses.
Qualifi introduces automated phone and voice screening as additional channels to Humanly's existing conversational AI options including chat, SMS, email, and video. This addition accelerates the identification of top candidates, shortening the process from days to mere minutes.
HourWork broadens Humanly's conversational AI applications beyond recruitment into post-hire phases, supporting employers in onboarding, training, engaging, and retaining hourly workers to improve long-term workforce stability.
Humanly has debuted its AI Interviewer, enabling instant and large-scale candidate interviews. This tool unlocks opportunities for the 95% of applicants typically overlooked, while Kumar draws on his experience integrating LinkedIn's data into Microsoft to envision a vast database of AI-interviewed candidates.
"This is more than just an acquisition," Kumar added. "It's a roll-up strategy designed to redefine how millions of workers are hired, placed, and retained—using AI to power every step of the journey, from the first hello to onboarding and beyond."
These acquisitions position Humanly to transform enterprise hiring through integrated AI, fostering efficiency, equity, and scalability in talent acquisition and management.
