Vervoe

About

Vervoe provides an AI-powered hiring platform that auto-generates, administers and grades skills-based simulations, video/audio responses, and customizable tests to evaluate candidates blind and remove résumé bias.

Mission

Vervoe provides an enterprise software platform that auto-generates skills-based assessments from a pool of role- and skill-specific questions and grades candidates (including open-ended responses, video, and audio) using AI. Tests are administered blind to remove qualitative factors such as school, referees, or past employers from candidate evaluation. The company has built a database of over 80,000 questions created by HR experts, which it expects to expand and refine over time to build a data moat. Customers cited in the article include AusPost and Walmart, and Vervoe has expanded into verticals such as health insurance and aged care. The founders claim the approach reduces hiring time and resources by up to 10x and improves hiring quality by removing bias. The founders are Omer Molad (CEO) and David Weinberg (Product), and the company says its vision is to build a multi-billion dollar business. Vervoe provides an interviewing platform that replaces face-to-face interviews with online simulations, customized tests, work samples and practical tasks so candidates can prove skills rather than rely on résumés. The platform lets employers and recruiters test technical and personal skills of many candidates simultaneously, aiming to reduce hiring bias. Vervoe has been used by over 4,000 companies and tens of thousands of candidates across 75 countries. The company was co-founded by Omer Molad and David Weinberg. Recent funding will be used to develop machine learning technologies to rank candidates based on performance in simulations, and to build a global sales team to expand its customer base. The company also announced product and governance moves, including Daniel Benor joining as Head of Product and expansion of the board to include Spencer Greene and David Shafer. Vervoe is a NYC-based online hiring assistant for startups and small to medium sized businesses. It automates the interviewing process using online simulations so candidates can demonstrate their skills and style. The platform offers video interviews, work samples, expert-written and customizable questions, and automated status updates to streamline hiring. Vervoe targets SMBs without HR departments or recruiters and aims to help companies fill positions within days rather than weeks. Co-founded by Australians Omer Molad and David Weinberg, the company worked with startups and traditional U.S. businesses prior to launch and reports a rapidly growing customer base. Vervoe intends to use the $1M in funding to expand operations.
