Take2 is an AI recruiting company building a network of autonomous agents purpose-built for the unique demands of healthcare hiring. Founded by Yaniv Shimoni and Kaushik Narasimhan, with R&D in Israel, the company targets one of the hardest hiring environments in the economy: healthcare, where chronic staffing shortages, high turnover, credentialing complexity, and 24/7 operations make traditional recruiting slow and expensive. Take2's thesis is that agentic AI can automate the end-to-end recruiting process, from job posting through job offer, far more effectively than generic tools retrofitted for the sector.
The company's first agent is an AI Interviewer that conducts phone interviews with candidates around the clock, evaluates their responses, records the calls, and syncs structured results directly into the applicant tracking system, all with no human in the loop. For high-volume, time-sensitive healthcare roles, this means candidates can be screened the moment they apply rather than waiting days for a recruiter to call, dramatically compressing time-to-hire and reducing candidate drop-off in a market where speed wins.
With its Series A capital, Take2 is expanding beyond interviews into a broader agent network that automates sourcing, screening, credential verification, scheduling, and employee onboarding, the credentialing and verification steps being especially critical and burdensome in healthcare. The company has quadrupled its customer base over a recent six-month span and serves leading healthcare organizations, including Top 10 health systems and dental service organizations.
Take2 raised a $14M Series A led by Human Capital, with participation from Bertelsmann Healthcare Investments, Reach Capital, SemperVirens VC, and Honeystone Ventures. The healthcare-specific focus and investor base reflect a bet that vertical AI recruiting agents will outperform horizontal tools in regulated, high-stakes hiring.
