Mission

Sapia.ai is a Melbourne, Australia-based provider of an AI solution delivering diversity and inclusion in hiring. Founded by CEO Barb Hyman, the company offers a platform to help companies engage talent at scale. Its core technology centers on a blind, untimed and asynchronous chat interview designed to transform the speed and quality of hire while removing bias from the hiring process. The company raised $17M in a Series A round and plans to use the funds to continue overseas expansion. Management intends to make the product available in multiple languages as part of that expansion. PredictiveHire is a Melbourne-based recruitment automation company that automates candidate screening with an AI interview bot called Phai. Phai asks five text-message questions and can indicate whether a candidate is right for a job immediately, with the company saying the bot ""interviews"" a candidate every 30 seconds. PredictiveHire has conducted more than 1.2 million candidate interviews and built a dataset of 500,000-plus million words to analyze the contextual meaning of written interview responses. The startup counts customers including Qantas, AfterPay, Telefonica, and Woolworths. In March 2022 the company raised $7.0M in a pre-Series A round. PredictiveHire operates in 47 countries and will use the funds to ramp up global plans with a big focus on the US market.
