Employ

Employ, Inc. is a talent acquisition technology company that provides organizations with a choice of applicant tracking systems rather than a single solution. Through its JazzHR, Lever, and Jobvite brands, Employ gives employers access to three purpose-built recruiting platforms, allowing them to select the tools that best match their hiring complexity, size, and growth stage.

The company’s product portfolio spans the market. JazzHR is positioned as an easy-to-use, affordable recruiting technology for small and mid-sized businesses, replacing manual, time-consuming hiring tasks with intuitive tools and automation. Lever offers a modern, scalable, data-driven ATS and CRM solution for high-growth organizations, supporting relationship building, sourcing, nurturing, and interview practices. Jobvite provides an end-to-end, customizable platform for complex organizations, with advanced analytics, automation, and built-in recruitment marketing.

Beyond its applicant tracking systems, Employ has developed AI-powered capabilities for hiring. Its AI Companions include an AI Interview Companion, designed to support fair and consistent interviews so teams can move top candidates faster, and an AI Screening Companion, which applies skills-based intelligence to help benchmark candidates and engage at-risk talent. The company has emphasized a people-first approach to AI, stating that AI should enhance rather than replace human connection, and has described deep integration with governance frameworks to support responsible AI in HR technology.

Employ serves a broad customer base. The company reports more than 23,000 customers, ranging from small and medium-sized businesses to enterprises and Fortune 100 organizations, supported by a partner network of more than 500. Its industry partners include human capital management providers such as Workday, SAP, Oracle, and UKG, enabling companies to automate and streamline more of their hiring processes.

The company also operates NXTThing RPO, an recruitment process outsourcing brand. Across its brands, Employ aims to address the full spectrum of talent acquisition challenges, from first-time automation of manual recruiting tasks to deep analytics on candidate experience for large enterprises.

Employ’s leadership team brings experience across HR, talent acquisition, SaaS, customer service, marketing, and product development. Its executive team includes Chief Executive Officer Jerry Jao, Chief Customer Officer Amanda Berger, Chief Product Officer Dara Brenner, Chief People Officer Stephanie Manzelli, Chief Technology Officer Patrick (PJ) Jean, Chief Financial Officer Matthew Piercy, and Chief Revenue Officer Eric Waldinger.

On culture, Employ has stated that it prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion across its software accessibility, candidate experience, and internal hiring and employee experience.
