TechFlow News: On May 6, London-based AI recruitment platform Ethos closed a $22.75 million Series A funding round, led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) with participation from General Catalyst. Ethos leverages AI-powered interviews and evaluations of professional artifacts—including essays and code—to build comprehensive skill profiles for candidates, matching them to paid opportunities such as expert consulting, market research, AI data labeling, advisory roles, and full-time positions.
Founded in 2023 by James Lo and Daniel J. Mankowitz—former employees of Google DeepMind, McKinsey & Company, and SoftBank—the company aims to address the growing challenge of identifying genuine candidate capabilities amid rising numbers of falsified or AI-generated resumes. Proceeds from this round will be used to scale its AI agents, expand its global network of experts, and deepen collaborations with AI labs and enterprise clients.
