INDIANAPOLIS — An on-demand screening platform called Qualifi which allows recruiting teams to phone interview 100s of candidates in minutes, has raised a $600,000 pre-seed investment.
 
The Qualifi platform enables recruiters to create seamless one-way interview experiences using audio and voice that candidates respond to over a standard phone call, eliminating back-and-forth scheduling, reducing communication times with candidates, and capturing better data to help recruiters scale screening efforts. Recruiters using Qualifi shave one week off their time-to-hire average. 
“We’ve been recruiters ourselves and we spend so much time listening to our customers to understand the challenges they face, that we know exactly what they need from us,” said Darrian Mikell, CEO and co-founder of Qualifi. “This cash injection will allow us to build functionality into the platform much faster, expanding our capabilities to meet the specific needs of our customers in verticals like healthcare, call centers, and other fast-paced industries.”
Founded in 2019, Qualifi grew from the accelerator and Pitch Pardi programs from Be Nimble, a social enterprise supporting the growth of black tech ecosystems.

TikTok is testing a tool for brands to recruit employees, sources tell Axios. 
Details: The pilot program is designed to help people find jobs on TikTok and connect with companies looking to find candidates. It's also meant to help brands use TikTok as a recruitment channel.
The company is currently testing the service with a beta group of companies. Several big brands have been asked about participating, including sports leagues.  The platform isn't a product that's integrated within TikTok itself, but rather a separate web page accessible via the TikTok app where brands can post jobs, primarily entry-level listings. Users can post a TikTok video resume to the site rather than a traditional resume. The idea is for users to give an elevator pitch or work experience summary via the video in a unique way.  TikTok will ask candidates to post their resume videos to their TikTok profiles, if they wish, to help publicize the new service. https://www.axios.com/tiktok-job-hiring-tiktok-576f3b99-602c-46ac-afed-218ddf61a9ba.html
