Bias-free hiring platform Bryq raises €1.2 million to expand across Europe and the US
Summary
“The recent global crisis and upheaval in the employment market make Bryq an essential tool for survival”. The company, which launched its platform last October after two years of research, development, and validation, intends to use the funds to grow its reach and further refine its product offering. “This investment round from BigPi will allow Bryq to make simple, bias-free hiring available to more companies.” According to Byrq, even before the Covid-19 pandemic, corporate jobs attracted around 250 resumes on average. The impact of the pandemic has led to a sharp increase in job seekers, with companies required to review an even larger number of resumes, spending no more than an average 7 seconds on each. “Companies across the US are accelerating their Diversity and Inclusion efforts as part of their renewed commitment to removing barriers to jobs for qualified candidates,” said Rob Sharkey, Senior Vice President, Sales, Bryq.
