Humanly acquires CareerArc, its fifth AI hiring deal since 2025
Bellevue, Washington-based AI hiring company Humanly has acquired recruitment marketing firm CareerArc, its fifth acquisition since 2025, with no price disclosed; Humanly employs 50 people and nine of CareerArc's 13 staff are joining. The deal pairs Humanly's automated chat, screening and interview tools with CareerArc's social recruiting software and interactive career-site maps. Humanly has raised $52M in total, including $25M in April, and counts Microsoft, Domino's and MGM Resorts among more than 120 customers, but the report gives no acquisition price, no revenue figure and no word on how many of the five acquired products survive as products.
