Acquisition connects recruitment marketing with AI-powered hiring to create a continuous pipeline of qualified candidates

BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Humanly, the AI recruiting platform for high volume hiring, today announced the acquisition of CareerArc, a recruitment marketing technology company that helps employers reach, engage, and convert job seekers.

The acquisition expands Humanly's ability to connect the journey from candidate reach to hire, bringing together CareerArc's top-of-funnel recruitment marketing capabilities with Humanly's AI-powered candidate engagement, screening, interviewing, and hiring technology.

For organizations hiring at scale, hiring begins well before an application is submitted. Employers must continually reach the right candidates, engage them quickly, and move qualified people forward before they drop out or critical roles go unfilled. Together, Humanly and CareerArc will help connect those traditionally separate parts of the hiring journey.

"High volume employers have had to piece together their hiring process with a collection of disconnected tools such as job boards to find candidates, software to process applications, and agencies to fill the gaps," said Prem Kumar, CEO and Co-Founder of Humanly. "CareerArc allows us to reach candidates earlier. By combining their expertise in reaching and engaging talent with Humanly's AI-powered hiring platform, we can help employers build a stronger candidate pipeline and move more qualified people from first touch to first shift."

Building a Continuous Candidate Pipeline

CareerArc's portfolio includes HireSocial, a social recruiting platform built for talent acquisition teams, and Job Maps, an interactive career-site experience that helps candidates discover opportunities by location.

Humanly engages, screens, and interviews candidates 24/7 across chat, phone, and video. Its platform helps high-volume employers turn candidate interest into qualified talent and move people through the hiring process with greater speed and consistency.

"World Flight Services uses both CareerArc and Humanly, and we've seen firsthand how complementary they are," said Jason Leath, VP of Talent Acquisition at World Flight Services. "CareerArc helps us reach and attract candidates, while Humanly helps us engage and move those candidates through the hiring process. Bringing those capabilities together makes a lot of sense for organizations like ours that are hiring at scale."

The acquisition advances Humanly's broader vision of helping employers maintain an always-on supply of qualified candidates so critical roles stay filled, and operations keep running.

"Recruiting technology has historically been built around individual steps in the funnel," said Kumar. "We see an opportunity to connect those steps and help employers move from finding candidates to filling roles with far less friction."
