Humanly is a Bellevue, Washington-based AI hiring platform focused on hourly, frontline and high-volume recruiting. Founded in 2018, it uses conversational AI to screen job candidates, schedule interviews, automate initial communication and run reference checks, integrating with employers' existing ATS. In 2026 the company raised a $25M Series B led by SEEK Investments, with MassMutual Catalyst Fund and follow-on from Drive Capital and Zeal Capital Partners, bringing total funding to roughly $52M. With the round, CEO Prem Kumar is repositioning Humanly as a 'service-as-a-software' company that does not just give recruiters tools but delivers pre-vetted, ready-to-hire job seekers on demand, helping companies hire faster, retain staff and stay fully staffed.
