Fika Jobs raises $4M for AI-agent candidate interviews

TechCrunch reported that Fika Jobs has raised $4 million in pre-seed funding to build a video-first hiring platform. Candidates connect a LinkedIn profile, receive AI-generated interview questions, complete an approximately 10-minute video interview with an AI agent, and then get short clips organized into a profile employers can browse. The round was led by Luminar Ventures, with participation from Alliance VC and King cofounders Sebastian Knutsson and Riccardo Zacconi. The story also notes the bias risk of video-first hiring, because employers can see race, age, gender, appearance, and accent earlier than in a resume-only process.
