The startup positions its product as a response to a hiring environment increasingly influenced by automation. As AI-generated job applications become more common and recruitment workflows rely more heavily on screening tools, the founders argue that candidates need alternative ways to demonstrate their strengths and personality.
“We believe candidates need a new way to stand out, through personal AI video conversations. That’s why we are building Fika Jobs,” said Jakob Dubois, CEO and co-founder of the company.
According to Fika Jobs, employers gain access to candidates who have already completed an initial AI-led interview process, along with additional information about their motivations, career goals, and professional background. The platform also removes details such as age, gender, and ethnicity during matching in an effort to support more objective hiring decisions. Employers are charged only when a hire is made.
The company says it has already generated interest from employers ahead of a wider rollout. During an early testing period in 2025, more than 50 companies used the platform, attracting thousands of candidates and leading to multiple hires.
Alexander Dubois, CTO and co-founder, said the company is using AI to improve how employers understand applicants and connect them with positions where they are more likely to succeed and thrive. He described the approach as more focused on candidate outcomes than traditional recruitment methods.
With the new capital, Fika Jobs plans to continue developing its platform, expand its team, and support a broader market launch later this year.
