Humanly Acquires CareerArc to Build an Always-On Candidate Pipeline for High-Volume Hiring

For organizations hiring at scale, filling a role starts long before a candidate submits an application. Employers need to reach the right people, capture their interest, engage them quickly, and move qualified candidates through the hiring process before they drop off.

But too often, those steps happen across disconnected tools and systems. Recruitment marketing operates separately from candidate screening, interviewing, and scheduling, leaving hiring teams to bridge the gaps themselves.

Humanly is taking a step toward changing that.

Today, we announced the acquisition of CareerArc, a recruitment marketing technology company that helps employers reach, engage, and convert job seekers. By bringing CareerArc's top-of-funnel recruitment marketing capabilities together with Humanly's AI-powered hiring platform, we're advancing our vision of helping high-volume employers build a continuous pipeline of qualified candidates.

Connecting the Candidate Journey From First Touch to First Shift

High-volume employers can't afford to treat recruiting as a series of isolated steps. When organizations need to fill hundreds or thousands of positions, they need a reliable way to attract talent, engage candidates, and keep qualified people moving through the hiring process.

That's where the combination of CareerArc and Humanly comes in.

CareerArc helps employers reach and attract candidates through recruitment marketing technology, including:

• HireSocial: A social recruiting platform that helps talent acquisition teams reach job seekers through social channels.
• Job Maps: An interactive career-site experience that helps candidates discover employment opportunities by location.

Humanly builds on that initial interest by engaging, screening, and interviewing candidates 24/7 across chat, phone, and video. Our AI-powered platform helps employers qualify candidates, coordinate next steps, and move people through the hiring process with greater speed and consistency.

Together, these capabilities connect more of the hiring journey, from reaching potential candidates to identifying and advancing qualified talent.

A More Connected Approach to High-Volume Hiring

For many employers, recruiting technology has evolved around individual stages of the funnel. One tool helps attract applicants. Another manages applications. Others handle screening, interviews, or scheduling.

The result can be a fragmented experience for both candidates and hiring teams.

As Humanly CEO and Co-Founder Prem Kumar explains:

"High volume employers have had to piece together their hiring process with a collection of disconnected tools such as job boards to find candidates, software to process applications, and agencies to fill the gaps. CareerArc allows us to reach candidates earlier. By combining their expertise in reaching and engaging talent with Humanly's AI-powered hiring platform, we can help employers build a stronger candidate pipeline and move more qualified people from first touch to first shift."

For organizations already using both platforms, the value of connecting these capabilities is clear. World Flight Services, a customer of both CareerArc and Humanly, has experienced firsthand how the technologies complement one another.

"World Flight Services uses both CareerArc and Humanly, and we've seen firsthand how complementary they are," said Jason Leath, VP of Talent Acquisition at World Flight Services. "CareerArc helps us reach and attract candidates, while Humanly helps us engage and move those candidates through the hiring process. Bringing those capabilities together makes a lot of sense for organizations like ours that are hiring at scale."

The opportunity is to connect these traditionally separate stages so employers can build momentum throughout the candidate journey, rather than repeatedly restarting the process when applicants disengage or hiring needs change.

Our goal is to help organizations maintain an always-on supply of qualified candidates, giving hiring teams a stronger foundation for keeping critical roles filled and operations running.

Building Toward an Always-On Candidate Pipeline

The acquisition of CareerArc is an important step in Humanly's broader vision for high-volume hiring.

We believe recruiting technology should do more than automate individual tasks. It should help employers connect the entire journey from candidate discovery to hiring, reducing the friction between finding talent and filling open roles.

By combining recruitment marketing with AI-powered candidate engagement, screening, and interviewing, we're working toward a more connected hiring experience-one that helps organizations respond to changing workforce needs and maintain a continuous flow of qualified candidates.

As Prem Kumar puts it:

"Recruiting technology has historically been built around individual steps in the funnel. We see an opportunity to connect those steps and help employers move from finding candidates to filling roles with far less friction."

For employers responsible for keeping frontline teams staffed and business operations running, that connection matters. The future of high-volume hiring isn't just about processing candidates faster. It's about building a more dependable pipeline that helps the right people move from first touch to first shift.

And we're excited to build toward that future with CareerArc.
