Indian HRtech and AI start-up Hyreo announced the successful close of its pre-series A funding from marquee investors led by Callapina Capital with participation from Anas Rahman Junaid, Konglo Ventures, Raveendranath Kamath, Nat Natraj and other investors from Silicon Valley. The company will use the proceeds to fuel its international expansion as well as beefing up its product development teams. 

Co-founded by Arun Satyan, Mahesh Raju and Sreenath N in 2017, Hyreo seeks to simplify the recruitment process and improve candidate experience using AI. The company offers a customised candidate relationship management tool with deep conversational AI capabilities, to enterprises and large customers across technology, IT, banking and financial services domains. 

HRTech & Hyreo Conclude Pre-Series A Funding
Hyreo is designed to transform the recruitment process into a highly engaging experience for candidates and recruiting teams. Hyreo value proposition for its clients would be enhanced employer brand, consistent candidate experience, improved offer conversion, lower cost and higher quality of hires.

On the fundraising, Arun Satyan, co-founder & CEO, Hyreo, said, “This round will push us to the next stage of growth. We have, since our inception, built a highly capable and relevant product that has a global appeal. It is time for Hyreo to start looking at larger international markets including the US and other APAC regions. With the conclusion of this funding round and onboarding marquee investors, we are setting out to achieve our Hyreo 2.0 vision in the next few months.”

Headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, Hyreo comprises a 25 member team. The company expects to increase its headcount by 100% in the next year. The company presently caters to more than 40 clients across India, the USA and S Asia.

Anas Rahman Junaid, founder and managing director, Hurun India, said, “HRtech is fast evolving as a preferred sector of focus given the need to automate and build efficiencies amidst high volume and lower budgets. The opportunity globally is $30 billion and the new normal has clearly accelerated the need to address the same. We are extremely happy to support Hyreo in their mission to automate the process through technology and deep industry understanding.”

Vinod Jose, founder, Konglo Ventures said "I first met Arun in 2017 and what struck me was his laser focus on solving the pain points in the HR tech space. Such mission-driven founders are rare to find and they will go on to create a paradigm shift in the space they operate in. This is precisely what Hyreo is now doing with Candidate Experience Management - an emerging and increasingly strategic topic for HR Heads around the world to manage. Those who do not leverage pioneering solutions such as Hyreo will be at a competitive disadvantage in the coming years."

Raveendranath Kamath, founder, Next Education and a seasoned investor, said ‘What drew me closer to Hyreo is the strong value proposition to the enterprise customers. Hyreo founding team is strong with good functional and technical expertise and I have faith in the team to deliver a world-class solution."

Going forward, Hyreo aims to expand its service offerings to offer additional capabilities around sourcing automation, effective talent communities and talent marketing tools.

If you observe around 5pm, you will notice a small tiny shining dot very close to the Moon. This is Mars, the red planet. Within a few minutes, the red planet will disappear all of a sudden and appear nowhere in the sky.

On this path, there are rare occasions when the moon passes in front of a star and cause occultation which is like a total solar eclipse when the moon covers the object completely and the object disappears for 1-1/2-hours as the moon makes its way across the sky. We see stars appearing to pass behind the moon, disappearing on one and reappearing on the other.  All planets in our solar system move around the Sun in alm...
