GoodTime, the leading AI-based interview scheduling and hiring experience solution, has added $9.5 Million million to its Series A funding, bringing the total round to $16.7 million. The new funding round was led by KTB Ventures along with participation from Smilegate and Atinum Investment. This funding will be used to accelerate innovation for hiring/candidate experience solutions and accelerate go-to-market growth in a wide range of industries with innovative clients such as Box, Shopify, and Zoom.
GoodTime is an AI-based hiring experience solution that can reduce time-to-hire by as much as 50% while saving as much as $500,000 per year in talent acquisition costs. More importantly, GoodTime is the only HRtech solution that provides a way to measure and manage the diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) process for interview scheduling. According to SHRM, DE&I will be a continued focus for recruiters, especially because more candidates will make job choices based on their assessment of a company’s visible DE&I commitment, according to experts.
