Greenhouse Acquires Ezra AI Labs

Greenhouse, a hiring platform provider, has acquired Ezra AI Labs, the voice artificial intelligence interviewer. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

With Ezra now part of Greenhouse, more applicants will get a conversation, and recruiters will get a richer signal than a resume alone can provide. Ezra works with the recruiter and hiring team to define the questions and rubric for each role. Every candidate is then asked the same role-specific questions and scored against the same rubric, with a full transcript and an explainable evaluation for the recruiter.

Ezra is being brought under Greenhouse's AI principles, with monthly independent bias audits published publicly on the ;Greenhouse AI Assurance Dashboard with Warden AI. Ezra remains available as a stand-alone product. As part of the transaction, Ezra founder Ophir Samson has joined Greenhouse as Head of Voice AI, where he will lead the integration of voice-led interviewing across the Greenhouse platform.

"Closing this deal marks the start of a different kind of AI in hiring, one that gives candidates a real shot and gives recruiters a real signal," said Daniel Chait, CEO and co-founder of Greenhouse, in a statement.

"Hiring has needed a conversation at the front of the funnel for a long time. We can now bring that to every company that wants it, whether they run on Greenhouse or not," Ophir Samson, founder of Ezra AI Labs who joins Greenhouse as head of voice AI, said in a statement.
