Humanly has made a major move in the HR tech space, announcing the acquisitions of Sprockets, Qualifi, and HourWork to create a fully integrated AI-driven hiring solution. The combined platform aims to help Fortune 500 companies, mid-market firms, and high-growth organizations source, screen, interview, hire, and retain talent at scale—all in one system.
“This news comes at a pivotal time,” said Prem Kumar, CEO and Founder of Humanly. “Employers are being flooded with applicants driven by AI-enabled applying, while still grappling with high turnover and the urgent need to scale hiring without adding headcount. By bringing these companies together, we’re creating the most comprehensive AI recruiting platform on the market.”
What Each Acquisition Brings
-
Sprockets: Integrates its hiring platform, frontline manager app, and sourcing/screening suites with Humanly’s conversational AI, enabling stronger talent pipelines and more efficient applicant selection.
-
Qualifi: Adds automated phone and voice screening to Humanly’s conversational AI channels—chat, SMS, email, and video—reducing candidate identification from days to minutes.
-
HourWork: Expands Humanly’s AI capabilities beyond hiring, supporting onboarding, training, engagement, and retention for hourly workers.
Humanly also launched its AI Interviewer, allowing employers to interview candidates instantly and at scale. This technology aims to unlock access to the 95% of applicants who are often overlooked in traditional hiring workflows.
Kumar, who previously helped integrate LinkedIn’s data into Microsoft’s product suite, envisions building the world’s largest database of AI-interviewed candidates. “This is more than just an acquisition,” he said. “It’s a roll-up strategy designed to redefine how millions of workers are hired, placed, and retained—using AI to power every step of the journey, from the first hello to onboarding and beyond.”
As AI continues to reshape recruitment, Humanly’s expanded platform could set a new standard for end-to-end, data-driven hiring, offering employers a faster, smarter, and more scalable approach to talent management.
