SENTIO’s
assessment tool is used by human resource experts to benchmark current
employees and develop a success profile for future job candidates. The
company’s pre-hire assessments ensure employers hire people with the
highest likelihood of success, resulting in a high-performance workforce
and engaged employees. The platform was launched in August and was
recently recognized by HR Tech Outlook as one of ten top recruitment
software platforms for 2019. The investment from SC Launch, Inc. is on
the heels of an investment from VentureSouth in October 2018 and will be
used to scale outreach amongst small to mid-sized businesses that
typically cannot afford to use hiring assessments.

“This funding truly furthers SENTIO’s mission to make hiring assessments
available to companies of all sizes,” said AJ Richichi, SENTIO CEO. “I’m
excited about how SENTIO makes the hiring process more accurate and
reduces turnover for our customers. With the help of SCRA, we can now
bring those benefits to businesses on a national scale.”

“SENTIO is solving a pervasive issue of defining and identifying the
right talent for companies large and small,” said Jill Sorensen,
Director of Entrepreneurial Programs and Executive Director of SC
Launch, Inc. “Our team has been very impressed by their leadership and
product, and we are excited to watch their growth.”
