Incremental seed funding for a niche AI recruitment platform; no major market shift, but adds to the AI-in-HR player map.
NexusAdvisors, the operator of AI recruitment platform AVACAREER, announced on August 4 that it has raised 50 million yen (~$330,000) in a seed round. The round was led by ANOBAKA and East Ventures, with existing investor Skyland Ventures also participating. The company plans to use the funds for product development, hiring, and brand awareness, with a full release of AVACAREER scheduled for August.
AVACAREER is a recruitment platform where AI agents on both sides of the hiring process — an AI interviewer for the company and an AI avatar for the job seeker — conduct an initial conversation to assess compatibility. The system calculates multi-dimensional scores for skill match, cultural fit, and work-style alignment, and only candidates with high compatibility proceed to human interviews. The platform also automates job posting creation, schedule coordination, and text-based interviews.
This seed round is a modest but notable signal in the AI recruitment space, where agent-to-agent interaction is emerging as a new layer of automation. For builders, the key takeaway is the shift from simple resume screening to AI agents that simulate interviews and score cultural fit — a capability that could redefine how companies filter candidates. For investors, the involvement of East Ventures, a prominent Southeast Asian VC, suggests growing interest in AI-driven HR tech in the region, though the small round size indicates the market is still early.
