inploi lands £3 million to scale AI platform

A London-based talent technology firm is accelerating its growth plans after securing fresh investment to expand its platform and AI capabilities.

inploi has raised £3 million in a funding round led by YFM Equity Partners, with backing from existing investors, as it looks to scale across the UK and US.

The business, which pivoted to an enterprise SaaS model in 2021, helps employers manage high-volume recruitment by improving candidate journeys and reducing drop-off rates. 

Its platform integrates with existing systems to streamline hiring and support faster decision-making.

Since launching, inploi has supported millions of applications across more than 70,000 vacancies, working with clients including Compass Group, Wagamama, Gail’s and NHS trusts.

Bosses say the new funding will support product development and commercial expansion, including the rollout of AI-powered Talent Agents designed to automate tasks such as sourcing, screening and candidate communications.

Matthew de la Hey, co-founder and chief executive of inploi, said: “Employers are under huge pressure to hire at scale while delivering a better experience for candidates. 

“inploi has proven there’s a better way to do this, and we’re seeing strong demand from organisations that want smarter, more efficient recruitment. 

“YFM’s backing allows us to accelerate our growth, invest further in our product and scale the business internationally.”

Roshan Puri, partner at YFM Equity Partners, added: “inploi is addressing a real and growing challenge for enterprise employers. 

“The team has built a compelling product with clear customer ROI and strong momentum in the UK and US. We're delighted to support inploi on its scale-up journey.”
