Hellohive

Hellohive is a pioneering virtual recruiting platform that transforms how companies connect with diverse, early-career talent through innovative technology and equitable hiring practices. Founded in 2019 by Byron Slosar in New York City, Hellohive addresses systemic barriers in recruitment by focusing on potential rather than traditional metrics like educational pedigree or previous employment. The platform serves as a bridge between underrepresented job seekers—including first-generation college students, students from non-target schools, and candidates from diverse backgrounds—and top-tier companies seeking to build inclusive workforces.

Hellohive's proprietary, patented resume technology standardizes application formats and optimizes content to help candidates showcase their best selves while enabling employers to evaluate talent equitably. The platform offers comprehensive career development resources including resume coaching, virtual networking events, interview preparation courses, and exclusive access to internship and full-time opportunities at blue-chip firms. Corporate clients include Goldman Sachs, American Express, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Wells Fargo, and DWS, who use Hellohive to engage next-generation talent through collaborative programs and events.

The company has raised $9 million in total funding, including a $3.4 million Series A round in February 2024 led by the Tisch Family. With 51 employees across North America and Asia, and connections to over 1,500 schools, Hellohive is scaling its mission to create equitable pathways to career success. The platform operates on a belief articulated by founder Byron Slosar: using innovation and technology to humanize the recruitment process and empower candidates of all backgrounds. As more companies commit to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, Hellohive positions itself as an essential partner in translating those commitments into hiring outcomes.
