Humanly, a Seattle startup that helps companies automate their recruiting functions, announced the acquisition of Teamable, a San Francisco startup offering similar AI-boosted HR tools.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Together, we are redefining talent acquisition by providing customers with the tools they need not only to find the best candidates but also to engage and convert them effectively,” Humanly CEO Prem Kumar said in a statement. “We are making the dream of posting a job and having qualified candidates appear on your calendar — without the manual effort in-between — a reality.”

Teamable CEO Matthew Raymond will join Humanly as vice president of product.

Teamable launched in 2017. The company was previously led by Justin Palmer, who is now CTO at Clara AI.

Humanly will have just under 50 employees following the deal.

Customers use Humanly to screen job candidates, schedule interviews, automate initial communication, run reference checks, and more. The Seattle startup raised $12 million almost a year ago.

Some recruiting companies have cut costs or laid off workers following the tech downturn that began in 2022. Jobs site Indeed laid off 8% of its workforce this month, and Seattle startup SeekOut also laid off staff.
