The Access Group, an acquisitive provider of business management software, has acquired HireAra.
Based in London, the AI-powered candidate presentation platform automates the process of formatting and presenting candidate CVs/resumes for recruiters.
HireAra was founded in 2022 by a team committed to building technologies that transform outcomes for recruitment agencies. To date, over a million candidates have been presented using the platform.
Two-thirds of recruiters now routinely use AI tools to automate time-consuming manual tasks including job advert creation, interview scheduling, and candidate correspondence.
These tools help to unlock capacity in teams and accelerate efforts to place candidates in the right roles.
Thomas Vose, CEO and co-founder, HireAra said: “Becoming a part of The Access Group marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for HireAra and our customers.
“We’re not only going to be equipped with the resources and expert support we need to scale the team and further improve our platform to better serve our customers’ needs, but we’re also gaining access to a huge, global network of knowledge.
“Together with The Access Group, HireAra is better placed than ever to help drive the transformation and reshape the future of the recruitment sector to better serve our customers’ needs and aspirations.”
Emma de Sousa, Group Managing Director, Access Recruitment added: “Bringing HireAra into the Access family further strengthens our RecOS, underscores our commitment to innovation in the recruitment technology space, and demonstrates how AI is becoming a transformative force for recruiters, helping them streamline processes and deliver more personalised candidate experiences.”
