Headquartered in Seattle, WA, Koru is the leader in predictive hiring based on real drivers of performance, retention, and diversity — grit, ownership, teamwork, curiosity, rigor, impact, and polish. We’re mobilizing the “Grit over Grades” revolution with forward-leaning talent acquisition and business leaders in medium to large enterprises, from high growth technology companies to Fortune 100 investment banks.
Koru was founded by veteran entrepreneurs Kristen Hamilton, co-founder at Onvia and former COO at World Learning, and Josh Jarrett, former head of Higher Education Innovation for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and consultant with McKinsey & Company. Koru has raised $15 million in funding from First Round Capital, Maveron, Battery Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, City Light Capital, Trilogy Equity Partners, and Queensbridge Venture Partners.
If you are a talent acquisition or line of business leader who wants to be part of the exciting shift to predictive, data-driven hiring, we're here for you.
