Descriptiontext

RampUp is an AI-enabled Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) firm founded in 2015 in Denver, Colorado by Jason Ayachi and Morgan O'Malley and acquired in 2020 by Jacksonville Beach-based Hueman People Solutions. The company delivers four core service lines: full-service, hybrid, and project-based RPO; direct hire placement; executive search for director-level and above roles; and outplacement support. Its service model centers on embedding dedicated recruiters within client organizations under the client's brand and operating as an extension of internal talent acquisition.

The operational backbone is Radar, RampUp's proprietary AI-powered platform that automates roughly two-thirds of the hiring workflow, applies machine-learning-based fit scores derived from client and industry hiring trends, continuously scans the proprietary candidate database for each new requisition, and provides end-to-end pipeline transparency through an employer portal. A separate candidate-facing product at rampup.app extends the offering into a two-sided marketplace with automated job matching and interview likelihood scoring.

RampUp generates revenue primarily through professional-services and managed-services engagements — multi-year RPO contracts, project-based RPO on pay-as-you-go terms, direct hire and executive search fees, and outplacement service packages. Pricing is quote-based and customized, with no publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining enterprise field sales with embedded account management and inside sales for direct hire, and the company targets healthcare systems, medical device and aesthetics firms, health technology, HVAC/construction, food and beverage, logistics, and startups across the United States.
