What Vettery does

Vettery is a hiring marketplace founded in 2013 and headquartered in New York that connects job candidates with employers, positioned by the company as serving "top talent" and "growing companies." It operates as a two-sided marketplace intermediating between candidates seeking roles and employers seeking hires, the standard marketplace revenue mechanics for which are placement or success fees on the employer side, though no pricing structure is disclosed in the available sources. The company has raised approximately $11.9M across three disclosed funding rounds (2013, 2015, 2016) from investors including Lightbank, Greycroft, Raine Ventures, FJ Labs, and Pritzker Group Venture Capital.

In November 2020, Vettery acquired Hired, a competing online recruitment marketplace focused on tech talent, consolidating its position in the digital hiring marketplace segment. Reported headcount is 11-50 employees. Vettery is referenced within the LHH (Lee Hecht Harrison) brand portfolio, which operates as the recruitment and talent solutions arm of The Adecco Group alongside legacy brands such as Accounting Principals, Ajilon, Special Counsel, Paladin, and Parker + Lynch, indicating that Vettery functions within a global enterprise talent services infrastructure rather than as a fully independent standalone entity.

The underlying technology, product feature set, AI/ML matching capabilities, customer logos, segment mix, and current revenue are not disclosed in the supplied data, limiting detailed product or financial characterization beyond the general two-sided marketplace description.
