Company mission

To connect talent and opportunities more effectively.

Our take

Attracting the top talent isn't just a matter of offering good benefits and competitive salaries - a talent acquisition lead has to operate across a number of platforms, engage with candidates, manage the recruitment and interview process from end to end. Few smaller companies have access to this kind of expertise, and even larger ones struggle with the time and expense, especially when hiring for numerous roles.

Holly is an virtual recruiter that leverages AI to manage the talent acquisition process. It has several advantages over traditional recruitment methods - cost savings for one, but it being always on means that it can respond instantly to candidates. While HRTech startups such as Humanly and Paradox are building AI into their solutions, none yet have given AI the kind of control over the end-to-end that Holly promises, which will help the company stand out in an increasingly crowded market.

Holly is not live yet but has already garnered support from investors, netting a substantial amount of funding in a pre-seed round. This investment is being used to round out the founding team and build on the platform's capabilities. While it is still early days for Holly, if it can live up to its promise it is sure to make a big splash in the recruitment sector.
