DENVER interviewIA — a technology platform that manages all aspects of the job interview workflow to enable the coexistence of equitable and efficient hiring — has raised $2 Million in its seed round to fund strategic hires and product development as well as growth initiatives.  This Series Seed round was led by The Colorado Impact Fund, with participation from several investors. interviewIA fills an urgent need to help all interviewers deliver a consistent, non-biased experience driven by structure and real-time analytics to hire a diverse, qualified workforce. interviewIA’s founding team established and validated this unique methodology while working together over the last several years on the front lines of innovative talent strategies. Three years ago they built the first version of this interview platform and began to iterate on the value that this could bring to the market.   “We are excited to partner with the interviewIA team to help scale their uniquely positioned technology platform,” says Ryan Kirkpatrick, Co-Managing Partner of the Colorado Impact Fund. “As hiring accelerates through the recovery from the pandemic and considering the call to action on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion after the social movements this past summer, we believe a solution to make the interview process more efficient, structured, and unbiased is important and timely.”   You can check them out at interview ia dot com https://hrtechfeed.com/interviewia-secures-2-million-seed-round/ A new real estate recruiting tool has launched. Lone Wolf Technologies has announced the launch of Recruit, real estate’s first recruiting solution that helps brokers find the best talent and who represent the best fit for their brokerage.  Recruit is a new solution that leverages AI, machine-learning, and data science to identify agents who are a best fit for a brokerage. With Recruit, brokers can create custom search profiles based on the traits of their best agents. Recruit’s AI technology then crunches over 30 industry-specific metrics to calculate a ‘Fit Score’ for each agent. With this ‘Fit Score’, brokers can easily and more accurately identify and recruit the best agents—who are also a best fit—and are most likely to contribute to the brokerage’s bottom-line.  “We’re thrilled to launch Recruit today,” said Jimmy Kelly, CEO and President of Lone Wolf. “This year, we’re on a mission to provide more cutting-edge technology to the real estate industry than ever before. Recruit is a unique and incredibly innovative solution that will provide brokers in the U.S. with a simple and intuitive way of finding and recruiting the best talent and fit for their brokerage.” https://hrtechfeed.com/new-real-estate-recruiting-solution-launches/ FUNDING ALERT - Wedge, the recruiting platform based on video screening announced $1.6M in additional funding with participation from new and existing investors.
