VeroSkills operates an AI-driven hiring engine that promises 48-hour placements and delivers retention rates two to three times higher than traditional staffing agencies. The platform screens candidates in 52 languages and provides access to millions of fully work-authorized laborers across the U.S., EU, and Canada, specifically targeting the severe blue-collar labor shortage. In the six weeks preceding its latest fundraise, the company booked $15 million in annual recurring revenue, showcasing strong early traction. Employers cite 93% satisfaction with retention outcomes, underscoring the product’s effectiveness. Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, VeroSkills focuses on small and medium-sized businesses that account for nearly half of U.S. hiring. The company’s AI enables scalable, cost-efficient matching that traditional agencies cannot replicate. With fresh capital, VeroSkills plans to accelerate growth and further scale its technology to meet rising demand.
