expertlead operates an HRtech platform that helps companies find, evaluate and hire IT professionals by combining AI-driven talent identification with peer-to-peer technical screenings (video interviews, technical Q&As and live coding tests). The company places freelancers on a per-project basis and also offers objective technical assessments of applicants for permanent roles to accelerate hiring and reduce bias. Its community of freelancers can additionally serve as technical interviewers and receive benefits such as training, discounted insurance, coworking access and hardware deals. The startup employs around 100 people and reports it expects a +500% increase in revenue this year compared to last year. expertlead plans to invest the fresh funds into developing and expanding new and existing tools, growing the team, and launching a SaaS recruiting product that will let companies self-approach and assess millions of IT professionals. Its SaaS recruiting software is already used by Futurepath to recruit IT experts exclusively for the Volkswagen Group and is slated for wider customer availability. expertlead provides companies with access to a global pool of qualified tech freelancers to deliver tech roadmaps while avoiding complex candidate quality screening processes. Companies can upload their requests free of charge and typically receive suitable candidates' profiles within 48 hours. The platform vets senior developers, data science experts, experienced product/project managers and UI/UX designers using proprietary coding tests and technical interview processes. It also supports freelance tech professionals across project acquisition, administrative tasks, continuous training and peer-to-peer learning. Founded in January 2018 and based in Berlin, the company currently employs around 40 people and counts clients including Lufthansa, Daimler and Deutsche Bank. Following its Series A, expertlead plans to pursue international growth and further automate its products.
