TraqCheck has raised an $8 million Series A to expand software that automates hiring and background checks across borders. (tech.eu) The round was led by IvyCap Ventures, with IIFL joining as an investor, and the company said the money will fund European expansion and sales for its hiring agents. (yourstory.com, prnewswire.com) TraqCheck was founded in New Delhi and is now based in London, according to YourStory, and it says its software handles candidate sourcing, resume screening, outreach, and background verification. (yourstory.com, traqcheck.com) Global hiring is still full of manual work: recruiters search for candidates, chase references, and coordinate checks across different vendors and countries. TraqCheck is selling software that tries to collapse those steps into one workflow. (prnewswire.com, tech.eu) That pitch lands at a moment when investors are still backing narrow artificial intelligence tools aimed at expensive office work rather than broad consumer apps. Hiring is one of those targets because it combines repetitive tasks, large volumes of documents, and compliance checks that vary by market. (prnewswire.com, startupresearcher.com) The company’s older product, Trace, focuses on background verification, while its newer product, Nina, is aimed at real-time candidate sourcing and outreach. TraqCheck says Trace is used by nearly 300 enterprise customers across India and Europe. (yourstory.com, prnewswire.com) TraqCheck’s website now describes the company as a “Human Operating System” for human resources and says it serves more than 500 global enterprises. That is higher than the “nearly 300 enterprise customers” figure cited in funding coverage published on April 14, suggesting the company is using different counts or updated marketing language. (traqcheck.com, yourstory.com) The startup had previously raised a seed bridge round in September 2023, with backing from investors including Peyush Bansal and Alok Oberoi, according to Indian Startup Times. (indianstartuptimes.com) The next test is whether enterprises in Europe buy more than a hiring chatbot. TraqCheck is now trying to prove that companies will let software run a larger share of recruitment itself. (yourstory.com, prnewswire.com)
