About Archer from hackajob

Archer is the agent for both sides of hiring.

For companies, Archer is the AI sourcing agent for passive, in-demand talent, the people your team wants to interview but can’t reach through applications alone. Recruiters tell it what good looks like. It then works across every open role, finding, engaging and delivering the right people into your existing ATS as qualified, ID-verified candidates.

For jobseekers, Archer is your AI advocate in the job market. It finds the roles you actually fit and shows you why, so you can apply with confidence instead of losing time on roles you’d never get.

The recruiter always makes the hiring call.

Background

hackajob is the company behind Archer.

For over a decade we’ve built technology to help companies and skilled professionals find each other, trusted by enterprises, scale-ups and more than a million professionals worldwide.

Archer is where that decade leads. Our AI agent for both sides of hiring finds, engages and qualifies the people companies want to interview and delivers them into the ATS they already use. For candidates, it finds the roles they actually fit and gets them in front of the right people. The recruiter always makes the call.

Same team, same mission. Archer is what we lead with now.

Why We Invested

Volition invested in hackajob because the recruiting process for software developers is broken for both candidates and employers. At investment, the company was providing a market-leading platform to help solve this pain point. It has since evolved into an even more robust AI-powered sourcing platform. Hacakjob’s obsession with delivering a delightful candidate experience came through loud and clear during our diligence: candidates praised the number and quality of job requests that matched their preferences, while employers benefited from tapping into a large, new pool of candidates with uniquely high response rates, saving their recruiting teams time and money. As hackajob continues its strong growth trajectory and benefits from developer virality, the built-in network effect will continue increasing the ROI to both employers and candidates, further propelling adoption.

Most importantly, the team leading hackajob has the ambition to match the size of the market opportunity in front of them. Mark Chaffey, founder and CEO, started the Company in college and has spent his entire professional career tirelessly working to deliver strong value for candidates and employers on the platform. He has since hired an impressive management team who shares his passion for building a marketplace that puts technical talent first. We are truly excited to partner with the hackajob team and look forward to the journey ahead.
