Okay, Riteki, here's what's in the news this week.
1:30
First up, Adzuna, the Global Job Search platform.
1:33
Now it's the acquisition of the jobs, businesses of Trovitt and Mytula to job search engines
1:40
operated by the Life Full Connect Group.
1:43
The acquisition marks Adzuna's third acquisition in four years for strengthening its position
1:48
as one of the world leading global job search platforms.
1:51
In 2006, Trovitt and Mytula operated more than 50 countries, centralizing thousands
1:58
of classified ads, spending jobs, real estate, and cars with a strong presence in key European
2:03
and international markets.
2:05
Trovitt and Mytula's job verticals are now fully integrated into Adzuna, existing job sites
2:10
have been automatically redirected to Adzuna.
2:13
And Trovitt and Mytula subscribers have received direct communication and step-by-step guidance
2:18
to ensure a smooth transfer of state searches and job alerts at a Silicon Valley Novoworks
2:25
and AI HCM operating system for the enterprise built on the service now platform announced
2:31
its launch into conjunction with $8 million in seat funding led by stalwart ventures with
2:37
strategic participation from service now ventures and bell ventures.
2:40
The company also introduced their first agentech operating system for total workforce
2:46
The $8 million investment reflects glory and competence in a new generation of AI-native
2:51
enterprise platforms designed with AI embedded from the start.
2:55
The capital will support product development, team expansion, and customer growth.
3:00
Quote Novoworks is rethinking the foundation with an AI-native platform designed for the
3:04
modern workforce at David Mann, executive managing director at stalwart ventures, or excited
3:09
to lead this investment by the team with such cheap domain expertise and attract record
3:15
of building scaling successful platforms.
3:18
We believe they are uniquely qualified to position to define total workforce management
3:25
Following an intensive build phase where the customer's deal announced the general availability
3:29
of its fully integrated ATS, that's right, and I don't like standalone recruiting tools
3:33
that stop at offer stage, deals ATS is built directly on top of deals HRS system.
3:40
This drives quicker hiring and productivity with ATS and HR on a single platform here.
3:45
It auto-generates job descriptions and screens candidates.
3:48
It pushes roles from workforce planning into the ATS directly, and once an offer is accepted,
3:55
data flows directly into HRS, automatically triggering IT command orders, and compliant
4:00
contract generation.
4:01
This is an interesting move here.
4:03
I guess the other ERP platforms are now on notice, so don't be surprised if you see
4:08
replaying remote and the others follow here.
4:11
Healthcare workforce platform CAREFAM has emerged from stealth mode announcing a $14.5
4:17
million funding run led by a Patango health tech with participation from emerge.
4:23
The company offers a conversational platform that uses AI agents to automate their recruiting
4:28
and onboarding process for hospitals and care providers.
4:32
These agents manage candidate outreach scheduling, credential screening to reduce administrative
4:37
delays in hiring, and the system is designed to escalate sensitive
4:41
decisions to human HR staff while handling routine coordination tasks.
4:48
And finally out of San Francisco, Ezra, a voice AI interview platform built for recruiting
4:52
teams, looking for reliable signals to assess talent and candidates who want to be heard,
4:58
announced its raise $3.2 million in a seed funding run.
5:01
The funding comes as recruiting teams face a worsening hiring crisis as technology
5:07
Application volume, they say, is tripled nearly tripled since 2021, recruiters are now
5:12
screening 1,000 plus applications per roll while qualified candidates vanish into the
5:19
With AI resume tools becoming more sophisticated and accessible, it's getting harder and
5:23
not easier to find a real talent, that's true.
5:26
As those approach is different, they say, the platform interviews every applicant through
5:30
the structure of voice conversations, giving recruiters comparable data at scale and ensuring
5:36
candidates have a way to stand out by actually talking.
