Holly is an AI-powered platform that modernizes government hiring by transforming outdated systems to accelerate recruitment and embed equity. The product uses artificial intelligence and intergovernmental data collaboration to modernize job classifications, streamline agency workflows, and reduce time-to-hire across roughly 24 million public sector roles. The company highlights that government hiring currently takes 135 days on average and costs taxpayers $86 billion annually in overtime—problems Holly aims to address. Holly is already piloting its platform with the City of Long Beach. The startup was founded in 2023 while its founders pursued joint degrees at Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School, and it plans to expand nationally and is actively recruiting. The recent financing will support continued product development and scaling of the platform.
