WizeHire provides an algorithm-driven hiring platform for small and medium-sized businesses, guiding employers through job ad writing, posting, compensation suggestions and candidate matching. The product combines AI-trained resume and soft-skill assessment signals with advice from hiring and business coaches and integrations with partners like LinkedIn and Payscale. Its customer base doubled in 2021 to about 15,000 employers, and sources report annual recurring revenue near $10 million; the company has grown to an over-100-person headcount. WizeHire differentiates from job boards and ATS tools by offering industry-specific workflows and proprietary third-party and internal hiring data to advise on local-market hiring difficulty. Looking ahead the company plans to add background checking, candidate-to-recruiter text messaging, and lawyer-approved offer-letter templates, while expanding its hiring resources and technical partnerships. WizeHire combines expert hiring coaches with software to deliver a user-friendly, hyper-personalized hiring experience for small businesses. The platform tailors solutions for industries including real estate, insurance, mortgage, legal and hospitality. WizeHire plans to use new funding to build more personalized resources, hire additional support staff, and expand a partner program to create a network of industry experts. The company serves more than 7,000 businesses and recorded a $4.7 million run rate in 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic WizeHire launched a free product tier and partnered with lenders for the Paycheck Protection Program to help small businesses rehire. WizeHire positions itself as an affordable alternative to recruiters and general job platforms by combining coaching and software to simplify recruiting and reduce turnover. The company was founded in 2014.
