What welovehumans does

welovehumans is an Amsterdam-based AI recruitment automation company founded in 2023, operating as WLH Group B.V. The company's core product, Lucy, is an AI-powered interview agent that conducts interactive video screening calls with job candidates, asks CV-based follow-up questions, and produces structured interview reports delivered directly into the customer's applicant tracking system (ATS). The platform combines CV scanning, autonomous interview agents, AI-driven candidate matching and scoring, and pre-built integrations with ATS platforms including Homerun, Foreflow, and Leonard.

The platform is designed for organisations with high-volume hiring needs, claiming the ability to run hundreds of interviews in parallel, deliver interview reports within minutes into the ATS, reduce time-to-hire by up to 90%, and cut HR team screening workload by 75%. The technology stack spans video, audio, and text AI modalities — processing CVs, transcribing interview audio, and generating structured suitability assessments. The company is GDPR-compliant, with primary hosting on AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt), a published Data Processing Addendum, and Standard Contractual Clauses for international data transfers.

Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve free registration path (30-day free trial) for both companies and job seekers sits alongside a sales-assisted enterprise motion driven by demo requests and direct contact. The revenue model is subscription-based SaaS, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing centres on a content-driven top-of-funnel (whitepaper, newsletter, NOS Stories media coverage) feeding a demo-conversion bottom-of-funnel. As of the latest disclosures the team is small (8 employees), no funding rounds or revenue figures have been publicly disclosed, and the customer base consists of a handful of named mid-market and enterprise logos (transavia, Mr.Green, Land Life, igen, Ailaya, neople, nlmtd, Skillibrium, hsb, steigerb) primarily in the Dutch market.
