【美国】智能招聘面试平台Clovers宣布1500万美元的种子轮融资,革新现代的面试方式
洛杉矶和纳什维尔--2021年9月21日--人力资源技术公司Clovers(www.clovers.ai)今天宣布,它已经筹集了1500万美元的种子资金,该公司利用对话式智能来改善面试和招聘实践。本轮融资由Greycroft和Alpha Edison牵头,Crosslink Capital、Acadian Ventures、Fika Ventures和Act One Ventures参与。
Clovers公司通过其旗舰产品,将利用对话智能为现代世界的面试带来革命性的变化,使面试对组织和候选人都更有效、更包容。面试是招聘过程中最关键的一步,但它通常资源不足。Clovers将加强面试过程的每一步--从第一次面试到最后的决定。Clovers将在面试过程中为面试官提供无偏见的实时问题,面试后的候选人洞察力,以及面试官的事后辅导。Clovers将连接到现有的工作流程,并轻松地与企业的申请人跟踪系统、日历和当前的视频会议平台(如Zoom、Microsoft Teams和Webex)整合。
该公司于2020年12月由人力资源技术先锋Adam Miller(Cornerstone OnDemand的创始人兼前CEO)和Jason Nazar(Comparably的联合创始人兼CEO)与Doug Leonard和Cihan Ucar共同创立。Clovers公司的总部设在洛杉矶和纳什维尔。
"在技术进步、COVID-19的影响以及员工对混合远程办公模式的渴望的推动下,现代工作场所及其招聘流程正在发生转变。 这使得公司重新思考招聘问题,寻求包容、公平和有洞察力的面试,"Clovers公司首席执行官Doug Leonard说。"Clovers正在建立一个面试智能平台,以解决过去18个月中对招聘的巨大转变。我们坚信,技术不应取代人类的决策,只应加强我们公平和准确地评估候选人的能力。"
"Clovers团队带来了对未来人力资本管理的愿景,并有差异化的产品和建立市场定义的人力资源技术的记录作为支持。对话和人工智能创造了一个巨大的机会,使几乎所有行业都能进行公平和公正的面试。Alpha Edison的管理合伙人Nate Redmond说:"在一个快速变化的工作场所,雇主越来越多地从进入新的和多样化的人才库中受益,Clovers正在建立一个定义类别的公司。
鉴于对人才的需求增加,以及人员配置和人力资源本身的变化如此之快,人力资源部门和招聘人员需要提供公平和一致的面试,同时发现偏见,这尤其及时。 事实上,2020年86%的工作面试是通过数字方式进行的,比2019年增加了10倍。这一点,再加上一个糟糕的招聘可能使雇主损失该员工第一年收入的30%,以及专家估计95%的工人正在考虑换工作,突出了对面试智能平台的需求。
"Clovers公司的联合主席Adam Miller说:"Clovers公司拥有合适的团队、合适的技术和合适的愿景,可以满足对更有效和更公平的面试的巨大需求。
该公司表示,资金将用于产品开发、人才招聘和市场营销。
HR Tech Firm’s Seed Funding Round Led by Greycroft and Alpha Edison Will Power Clovers’ Intelligent Interviewing Platform to Accelerate Hiring and Uncover Bias
LOS ANGELES and NASHVILLE – September 21, 2021 – Clovers (www.clovers.ai), a human resources technology firm leveraging conversational intelligence to improve interviewing and hiring practices, today announced it has raised $15 million in seed funding. The round was led by Greycroft and Alpha Edison with participation from Crosslink Capital, Acadian Ventures, Fika Ventures and Act One Ventures.
Clovers, through its flagship product, will use conversational intelligence to revolutionize interviewing for the modern world, making interviews more effective and more inclusive for organizations and candidates alike. Interviewing is the most critical step of the recruiting process, but it has typically been under-resourced. Clovers will enhance each step of the interviewing process—from the first interview to the final decision. Clovers will offer unbiased, real-time questions for interviewers during the interview, post-interview candidate insights, and post-mortem interviewer coaching. Clovers will connect to existing workflows and easily integrate with an organization’s applicant tracking system, calendars and current video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex.
The company was co-founded in December 2020 by HR tech pioneers Adam Miller, Founder & former CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand, and Jason Nazar, Co-Founder & CEO of Comparably, along with Doug Leonard and Cihan Ucar. Clovers is jointly headquartered in Los Angeles and Nashville.
“The modern workplace and its hiring processes are transforming, driven by technology advancements, the impact of COVID-19 and employee desire for a hybrid remote-office model. This is causing companies to rethink recruiting, looking for inclusive, equitable and insightful interviews,” said Doug Leonard, CEO of Clovers. “Clovers is building an interview intelligence platform to address the massive shift made to hiring over the last 18 months. It is our strong belief that technology should not replace human decision making, only enhance our ability to fairly and accurately assess candidates.”
“The Clovers team brings a vision for the future of human capital management backed by a differentiated product and a track record of building market-defining HR technology. Conversational and artificial intelligence create a tremendous opportunity to enable fair and equitable interviewing across nearly every industry. In a rapidly changing workplace, where employers increasingly benefit from reaching into new and diverse talent pools, Clovers is building a category-defining company,” said Nate Redmond, Managing Partner at Alpha Edison.
The need for HR departments and recruiters to deliver fair and consistent interviews while uncovering bias is especially timely given the heightened demand for talent and how quickly staffing and HR itself is changing. In fact, 86 percent of job interviews in 2020 were conducted digitally, a 10-fold increase over 2019. That, combined with the fact that a bad hire can cost an employer up to 30 percent of that employee’s first year earnings and experts estimating 95 percent of workers are thinking about switching jobs, underscores the need for an interview intelligence platform.
“Clovers has the right team, the right technology, and the right vision to address the enormous need for more effective and equitable interviewing,” said Adam Miller, Co-Chair of Clovers.
The company said funding will be used toward product development, talent acquisition and marketing.
