SEATTLE — Humanly announced today the acquisitions of Sprockets, a Mount Pleasant-based company, along with Qualifi and HourWork, uniting three category leaders to create a comprehensive end-to-end AI hiring solution.
The combined platform will power hiring for Fortune 500 enterprises, mid-market companies and high-growth organizations — giving employers one seamless system to source, screen, interview, hire and retain talent at scale.
“This news comes at a pivotal time,” said Prem Kumar, CEO and founder of Humanly. “Employers are being flooded with applicants driven by AI-enabled applying, while still grappling with high turnover and the urgent need to scale hiring without adding headcount. By bringing these companies together, we’re creating the most comprehensive AI recruiting platform on the market.”
Each acquisition adds key capabilities to Humanly’s platform:
- Sprockets combines its hiring platform, frontline manager app, and sourcing and screening tools with Humanly’s conversational AI, helping businesses build stronger talent pipelines and identify best-fit applicants more efficiently.
- Qualifi adds automated phone and voice screening as new channels within Humanly’s conversational AI (chat, SMS, email and video), reducing the time to identify top candidates from days to minutes.
- HourWork extends Humanly’s conversational AI beyond hiring into post-hire engagement, helping employers onboard, train, engage and retain hourly workers.
Humanly has also launched its AI Interviewer, allowing employers to interview candidates instantly and at scale — unlocking access to the 95% of applicants who are typically overlooked.
Kumar, who previously helped integrate LinkedIn’s data asset into Microsoft’s product suite following its acquisition, sees similar potential in building the world’s largest 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.”
