Healthcare hiring has reached a breaking point

One in three new jobs in the U.S. is in healthcare, turnover often exceeds 50%, and vacancy costs are among the highest of any industry. Yet recruiting workflows remain deeply manual - especially the screening process, where recruiters spend up to 70% of their time and as many as 85% of candidates drop out before speaking to a human.

At Take2, we are creating AI agents purpose-built for healthcare recruiting. Take2 gives job applicants a voice and recruiters the opportunity to discover and hire the best talent.

How Take2’s AI Agent network is solving this problem

“Healthcare systems are under enormous pressure, and hiring is one of their biggest hidden costs,” said Yaniv Shimoni and Kaushik Narasimhan, co-founders of Take2. “We’re building AI agents that actually do the work - not just assist - so recruiting teams can focus on strategic decisions instead of time-consuming manual processes.”

We are addressing that bottleneck with autonomous AI agents designed for healthcare hiring. Our first agent, the AI Interviewer, conducts phone interviews with candidates 24/7, evaluates them, records calls, and syncs results directly into applicant tracking systems - all with no human-in-the-loop. Trained on healthcare-specific hiring data, Take2 helps organizations assess candidates more accurately while generating predictive insights that improve hiring quality and long-term retention.

With this funding, we will expand beyond interviews into a broader network of AI agents that automate the end-to-end recruiting process, including sourcing, screening, credential verification, scheduling, and onboarding. By automating more of the funnel, we aim to help healthcare organizations save millions of dollars annually while improving quality of hire and employee retention.

Our AI Agent network includes:

• AI Interviewer - conducts phone interviews with candidates 24/7

• AI Sourcer – generates pipelines for hard-to-fill healthcare roles

• AI Scheduler - schedules follow-up interviews seamlessly

• AI Scoring & Vetting - comprehensive, role-specific scoring

The road ahead 🚀

We have seen growing adoption as healthcare organizations look for faster, more scalable ways to staff their roles. Today, we are proud to serve leading healthcare organizations, including some of the largest health systems in the United States.

With additional funding, we’re deepening our AI capabilities, launching more agents, and hiring top talent rapidly, with the goal of automating the end-to-end recruiting process for the healthcare workforce – from job posting to job offer.

“The bottom line is that Take2 works - it’s not just a promise,” said Joe Gage, CHRO at Mercy Health and Chairperson-Elect of the Catholic Health Association. “It enables faster recruiting and hiring, and a more economical, scalable hiring system with a better candidate experience.”

Our mission is to manage healthcare recruiting with autonomous AI agents, helping organizations reduce costs, hire faster, and improve retention and quality of hire.
