HireAra

What HireAra does

HireAra (legal entity HireARA AI Limited) is a UK-based B2B SaaS company that provides an AI-powered candidate presentation platform to recruitment agencies. Founded in April 2022 as a spin-out from intelligent automation firm DigiBlu, the company is headquartered between London (registered office) and Loughborough and operates with 11-50 employees. Its platform ingests raw CVs in any format (Word, PDF, LinkedIn), applies generative AI-driven formatting against agency-specific branded templates, and produces formatted profiles, spec CVs, executive one-pagers, client cover sheets, and interactive candidate landing pages with engagement analytics and lead intent scoring. The AI capability layer relies on OpenAI as an LLM subprocessor for content generation, with Affinda and TextKernel handling CV parsing, supplemented by in-house prompt configuration, template logic, and field mapping.

The business operates on a B2B SaaS subscription model with quote-based enterprise pricing, sold primarily through direct enterprise field sales with 'Book a Demo' CTAs and supported by self-serve onboarding via app.hireara.ai and regional portals for the UK, EU, USA, and APAC. Distribution is significantly reinforced by native bi-directional integrations with major recruitment CRMs — Bullhorn, Salesforce, Vincere, Access CRM, Mercury, Seven20, Recman, JobAdder, FastTrack, and Tracker — making HireAra an embedded workflow layer for consultants. The company sells primarily to recruitment agencies of all sizes, with named enterprise customers including Spencer Ogden and The Oyster Partnership. Compliance posture includes ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, Cyber Essentials, and GDPR, supporting sales to enterprise and EU customers.

The company has raised £450,000 in seed funding in January 2024 from recruitment-tech founders (Mercury, SourceWhale, One Up Sales, Candidate.ID), existing customers, and private crowdfunding, with stated intent to triple the sales team and expand product surface. Platform scale metrics disclosed include 1,000+ agencies, 10,000+ recruiters using daily, 10M+ candidates presented, and £280M in cumulative customer placements attributed to the platform. Product cadence through 2025-2026 has been continuous, with new CRM integrations, AI Transform, lead intent scoring, and a March 2026 transition to a candidate-centric data model.
