On February 9, 2021, WizeHire, a user-friendly, effective hiring solution for small businesses, announced the closing of $7.5 million in Series A funding. WizeHire intends to use the funds to provide small businesses a faster, easier hiring experience previously only available to large corporations. That includes creating more personalized resources to address clients’ unique hiring needs, hiring more support staff and expanding its partner program to build a network of experts in its key industries of real estate, insurance, mortgage, legal and hospitality. The funding round was co-led by Amplo and Mercury, and included existing backers Ruchit Shah and RigUp co-founder Sandeep Jain.
The WilmerHale team representing WizeHire was led by David Haber, Jake Wyrick and Benn Waters.
