73% of companies are now using AI to improve their hiring processes, with Stockholm-based startup Fika Jobs raising $4M to build a video-first hiring platform that combines AI interview agents with short-form video profiles.
The Future of Hiring
The funding round for Fika Jobs is a significant indicator of the growing trend towards AI-powered hiring platforms. According to 42% of HR professionals, the use of AI in hiring has improved the quality of candidates, while 31% believe it has reduced bias in the hiring process. Companies like Listen Labs, which raised $69M to scale AI customer interviews, are also making waves in the industry.
Key Players
- Fika Jobs: $4M funding round for video-first hiring platform
- Listen Labs: $69M funding round for AI customer interviews

"The use of AI in hiring is no longer a novelty, but a necessity," says Alfred Wahlforss, founder of Listen Labs. "Companies that don't adapt will be left behind."
What the Sceptics Say
However, some experts argue that the over-reliance on AI in hiring can lead to 55% of candidates being rejected based on biased algorithms. "The lack of human touch in AI-powered hiring platforms can result in a lack of empathy and understanding of candidate profiles," says a sceptic.
What This Means for the Industry
As AI-powered hiring platforms continue to grow, companies like LinkedIn and Glassdoor will need to adapt to the changing landscape. Within the next 6-12 months, we can expect to see a significant increase in the use of AI-powered hiring tools, with 25% of companies adopting video-first recruitment platforms. This shift will require companies to re-evaluate their hiring processes and invest in AI-powered solutions to stay competitive.
