Amsterdam-based Carv acquires Tilburg's Recrubo: Co-founder Matthijs Metzemaekers on AI-driven hiring, tackling work overload and ensuring fairness - Silicon Canals
Briefly

Amsterdam-based Carv has acquired Recrubo, a conversational AI recruitment platform, to enhance its recruitment capabilities. Following a €9.18M seed funding round, the acquisition aims to create a seamless hiring journey from engagement to hiring. Recrubo's technology automates candidate interactions via popular channels, allowing Carv to improve its handling of high-volume hiring without compromising quality. This move seeks to alleviate the administrative burden on recruiters, enabling them to prioritize candidate relationships and streamline the entire recruitment process.
"For the longest time, Recruitment teams have faced challenges in creating a seamless hiring journey from first engagement to hire. By combining Recrubo's conversational AI with Carv's recruitment AI capabilities, we can now cover the entire recruitment journey and deliver a comprehensive AI experience that turns our vision into reality. I'm extremely excited about what's ahead," says Niels Tukker, Founder of Recrubo.
"With Recrubo, we're significantly enhancing our Conversational AI capabilities, especially for volume hiring. The technology improves how Carv engages with large numbers of candidates simultaneously-via chat and voice-making the experience more natural, scalable, and efficient. This means recruiters can handle high-volume hiring faster and with better candidate interaction, without compromising quality," explains co-founder Matthijs Metzemaekers to Silicon Canals on Recrubo's acquisition.
"Carv is built as an AI-first platform. Most AI solutions are either a thin AI layer on top of legacy software or quick-fix tools riding the ChatGPT hype. Carv lets recruiters focus on candidates, not administrative grunt work."
