InCruiter, founded in 2018, operates within the HR technology sector, providing a platform of tech-driven interview solutions designed to streamline the recruitment process for businesses. The company was established in Bengaluru, India, by CEO Anil Agarwal and CFO Ritu Mathran. The idea for the startup originated from Mathran's personal experience when seeking a job after relocating; she attended an interview where the company lacked the in-house expertise to properly assess her skills. This highlighted a significant gap in the market, particularly for startups and mid-size companies struggling to evaluate technical candidates.
Initially bootstrapped with the founders' savings, InCruiter later received a Startup India grant and revenue-based financing to fuel its growth. The firm addresses common hiring challenges such as delays, unavailable interview panels, and inadequate technical evaluations. It serves a diverse client base, from startups and MSMEs to large enterprises like EY, PwC, and Dentsu, operating in over seven countries. The business model is twofold: a pay-per-interview model for large corporate clients and a prepaid credit-based system for smaller businesses. For fiscal year 2025, the company reported revenue of $1 million.
InCruiter's core offering is its Interview as a Service (IaaS) platform, which gives companies access to a network of over 3,000 vetted expert interviewers for both technical and non-technical roles. The product suite has expanded to include several AI-powered tools. IncBot is an AI-driven tool for one-way video interviews that replaces initial human screening, while IncVid provides a secure platform for live, cheat-proof interviews featuring code collaboration and AI-generated feedback. Additional products automate interview scheduling (IncFeed) and ensure the integrity of remote assessments through AI proctoring (IncProctor). This integrated ecosystem aims to reduce the average hiring time from over 40 days to as few as seven.
