Take2, a healthcare technology company building autonomous AI agents for recruiting, announced $17M in total funding, including a $14M Series A led by Human Capital with participation from Bertelsmann Healthcare Investments, Reach Capital, SemperVirens VC, and Honeystone Ventures. Healthcare hiring faces acute strain as one in three new U.S. jobs emerges in the sector, turnover often surpasses 50%, and vacancy expenses rank among the highest across industries, while manual workflows dominate and most candidates exit before human contact.
AI Agents Target Healthcare Hiring Bottlenecks
Take2 develops AI agents tailored to healthcare recruitment, enabling applicants to be heard while helping organizations identify and hire stronger talent. “Healthcare systems are under enormous pressure, and hiring is one of their biggest hidden costs,” said Yaniv Shimoni and Kaushik Narasimhan, co-founders of Take2. “We’re building AI agents that actually do the work - not just assist - so recruiting teams can focus on strategic decisions instead of time-consuming manual processes.”
Automating the Entire Recruitment Funnel
Autonomous agents tackle bottlenecks across the funnel. The AI Interviewer runs phone interviews around the clock, assesses candidates, records conversations, and syncs outcomes into applicant tracking systems without human intervention. Models trained on healthcare hiring data support more precise evaluation and predictive insight to strengthen quality of hire and retention. Expansion plans include a broader agent network spanning sourcing, screening, credential verification, scheduling, and onboarding, driving significant cost savings while improving workforce stability.
Expanding Toward Fully Autonomous Hiring
The AI Agent network includes AI Interviewer for 24/7 phone interviews, AI Sourcer to build pipelines for difficult roles, AI Scheduler for seamless coordination, and AI Scoring & Vetting for role-specific evaluation. Growing demand continues as providers seek faster, scalable staffing solutions, with deployments across leading organizations, including several of the largest U.S. health systems. Additional capital will accelerate deeper AI capabilities, new agent launches, and rapid team growth toward full automation from job post to offer.
Take2’s mission is to run healthcare recruiting through autonomous AI agents, reducing costs, accelerating hiring, and improving retention and hiring outcomes.
