ベルテルスマン、AI採用戦略でハローボスを支援

Bertelsmann just made its first investment in Japan by joining the Series A round for HelloBoss, an AI driven recruitment platform built out of Tokyo. The move signals how serious global players are getting about AI led hiring tools. HelloBoss has been building momentum since 2023 and the new capital gives it room to scale its core bet. That bet is a next gen AI Agent that tries to simplify hiring for both sides without drowning everyone in manual steps.

The platform leans on its own patented matching tech and keeps everything in one workflow. Jobseekers get instant matches, auto generated resumes and quick apply options. Employers get automated job posts, AI curated shortlists and support across email, phone and SMS. The pitch is simple. Less grunt work and faster decisions.

The bigger story is the industry context. HR tech is shifting toward unified systems that can run matching, screening and communication in one place. Japan is a tough market to crack which makes ハローボス using it as a launchpad worth noting. The investment suggests confidence that this model can travel beyond Japan and compete globally.
