This round, led by existing investor Atlanta-based venture firm TechOperators, which consists of one-and-a-half million dollars, brings total investment in the company to $4.5 million.

'Customer executives continue to see value in our structured, analytics-driven approach to employee selection,' said Dan Drechsel, HireIQ's chief executive officer. 'As our customers continue to digitize their talent acquisition process with us, we use that data to help further improve those processes. Our growth continues to accelerate as leading customer-facing organizations realize the benefits of our multi-media virtual interviewing and predictive analytics approach. The proceeds from this investment round will be used to further our analytics advantage and to expand our sales footprint.'

HireIQ is revolutionizing the customer service talent acquisition process by linking stakeholder-observed business outcomes with pre-hire, multi-media digital interviews to help ensure a company's retention and operational performance goals are met. Prospective employees complete thousands of virtual assessments each day using HireIQ's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) software, enabling companies to improve their hiring decisions, reduce the critical time-to-fill interval, reduce recruiting costs and increase employee retention and performance.

'HireIQ has demonstrated its ability to develop, market and sell innovative solutions that are designed to dramatically improve the recruiting and hiring processes of organizations with high-volume hiring needs,' commented Dave Gould, operating partner at TechOperators.
