Harver

What Harver does

Harver is a privately held talent assessment and hiring platform founded in 2010, headquartered in Amsterdam (Netherlands) with operating entities in Dallas, Texas (US) and London (UK). The company serves enterprise and mid-market organizations with high-volume hiring needs across industries including BPO/contact centers, retail, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and technology, media, and telecom. Harver claims to serve more than 1,000 organizations globally and to have processed over 100 million candidate evaluations through its platform.

The platform combines industrial-organizational psychology with machine learning to deliver predictive candidate matching, behavioral assessment, one-way video interviewing, automated reference checking, and business intelligence. Core offerings include Harver Assessments (450+ validated science-backed assessments backed by 35+ years of research with 900+ pre-built job profiles), Harver Video Interview (powered by Ziggeo), Harver Business Insights (200+ actionable insights across 20+ dashboards with 1,000+ customizations), and Harver Automation (workflow automation for screening, scheduling, and matching that compresses time-to-hire to as little as 72 hours). Harver has expanded through the acquisition of pymetrics (August 2022, neuroscience-based gamified behavioral assessments), Outmatch (2023, talent assessment suite), and Checkster (automated reference checking). In April 2026 the company launched AI PREVAIL, an assessment measuring candidates' practical AI judgment, applied AI in role scenarios, learning agility, and human-AI collaboration. The platform integrates with dominant ATS systems including iCIMS, Greenhouse, and Workday.

Harver operates a SaaS subscription model with annual billing and quote-based enterprise pricing that varies by hiring volume, organization size, and selected modules. The go-to-market combines consultative enterprise field sales (with pervasive Request a Demo CTAs) and product-led self-service capabilities for candidates, supported by content marketing, SEO, webinars, and industry events. The company has been funded primarily by Insight Venture Management across multiple rounds from 2016 through 2019, totaling roughly $28.9M in disclosed equity, and has since funded its growth through operating cash flow and continued M&A rather than additional disclosed venture rounds.
