Vente AI, based in London, has secured £500,000 in pre-seed funding to further its mission of automating business development for recruiters. The company aims to streamline the recruitment process by integrating its technology with existing tools, providing faster and more efficient user onboarding.
Within the short span of two months since its AI product launch, Vente AI has reportedly generated over £300,000 in additional revenue for recruitment agencies by processing 250 candidates. This demonstrates the potential impact of their technology on boosting efficiency in one of the UK’s significant professional sectors.
Recruitment agencies typically spend up to 40% of their time on lead identification and analysis. Vente AI addresses this challenge with a lead analysis model designed to automate these processes, thereby improving productivity and reducing costs. This innovation not only benefits recruiters but also enhances the overall competitiveness of the UK employment market.
CEO Cameron Briggs, drawing from over 12 years of experience in the recruitment industry, emphasises the transformative potential of automation in recruitment. According to Briggs, “Automating these processes will reduce costs and increase productivity for recruiters, which could have a significant impact on one of the UK’s largest professional services industry.”
The recent funding was spearheaded by Antler VC and supported by several angel investors. Jed Rose, a partner at Antler, expressed confidence in Vente AI’s capabilities, noting, “They are building technology to improve processes in a major industry and they combine the first-hand experience, domain expertise and technical skills to build a credible and scalable solution.” Vente AI continues to operate out of Antler’s tech space in London’s East End, indicating a close partnership between the startup and its leading investor.
Vente AI’s recent funding achievement underscores its significant potential to transform recruitment processes through automation.
