inploi, a London-based startup offering a talent technology platform helping employers hire at scale, today announced that it has secured €3.4 million (£3 million) in funding to support further expansion across the UK and the US and accelerate its AI roadmap.
The round was led by YFM Equity Partners, alongside support from existing investors.
Matthew de la Hey, co-founder and CEO of inploi, said, “Employers are under huge pressure to hire at scale while delivering a better experience for candidates. inploi has proven there’s a better way to do this, and we’re seeing strong demand from organisations that want smarter, more efficient recruitment. YFM’s backing allows us to accelerate our growth, invest further in our product and scale the business internationally.”
Founded in 2016 by Matthew de la Hey and Alex Hanson-Smith, inploi is a candidate experience solution that helps enterprise employers automate and streamline their talent acquisition.
The startup pivoted in 2021 from a labour marketplace to enterprise SaaS to address growing inefficiencies and poor engagement in high-volume recruitment. Its platform integrates with existing applicant tracking systems to streamline candidate journeys, reduce drop-off and enable faster, more effective hiring decisions.
inploi owns the experience layer in hiring. It bridges the candidate market and the enterprise applicant tracking systems. The company claims that its technology empowers organisations to deliver good hiring experiences at scale, with AI agents that streamline candidate sourcing, screening, communications, and scheduling.
According to the startup, the technology aims to free talent teams to focus on higher-value interactions and improve hiring outcomes by reducing the manual workload and enabling more personalised engagement at scale.
inploi stated that, so far, its white-labelled platform has facilitated millions of job applications for over 70,000 vacancies. Its client base covers sectors like hospitality, leisure, healthcare, construction, government, and retail. Key clients include Compass Group, Wagamama, Gail’s, PureGym, and several NHS trusts.
Since launching its platform, the company has acquired over 30 enterprise clients and recently entered the US market.
Roshan Puri, Partner at YFM Equity Partners, said, “inploi is addressing a real and growing challenge for enterprise employers. The team has built a compelling product with clear customer ROI and strong momentum in the UK and the US. We’re delighted to support inploi on its scale-up journey.”
With the new funding, the company intends to advance its next stage of commercial and product growth. This includes enhancing sales and marketing efforts and expanding its team. Additionally, it aims to speed up the development of Talent Agents, a new collection of AI-driven hiring assistants that automate sourcing, screening, scheduling, and candidate communications.
