And they don’t want their current employees to spend time interviewing, Bhende said. That means companies need to replace more roles.

The take: Karat is riding multiple tailwinds, including some driven by the pandemic: It makes money from subscriptions and on total consumption. The startup has capacity to conduct 50,000 interview hours per month. It has eight companies spending more than $1 million per year. The metrics: Karat is more than doubling revenue and the number of customers year-over-year. The idea is to help companies screen more candidates while freeing up their own employees from interviewing responsibilities, amid an ongoing battle for tech talent. The companies receive feedback on the top qualified applicants, based on Karat’s diligence, as well as insights about their hiring process. The tech: The startup uses a network of vetted interviewers who run the interviews via video conference, using a question format and scoring rubric based on research and analysis done by Karat. It’s the latest Seattle tech company to reach a $1 billion valuation, or “unicorn” status, following Amperity, Highspot, Zenoti, and Rec Room. The news: Karat, a Seattle-based startup that helps companies conduct technical interviews, raised a $110 million Series C round at a $1.1 billion valuation.
