hackajob has announced that its AI recruiting agent (named Archer) has surpassed $1 million in annual recurring revenue within 90 days of commercial rollout, and it is extending the product to all knowledge-worker roles.
The 'AI native' recruitment company said this pace outstrips recent industry benchmarks, citing Andreessen Horowitz’s 2025 benchmarking data that the median enterprise AI company reaches approximately $2 million ARR in its first year and that the pre-AI standard was $1 million ARR in 12 months.
hackajob said Archer qualifies candidates before they enter an employer’s applicant tracking system.
Archer calibrates to each employer’s roles, proactively reaching candidates who would not otherwise apply, verifying identity, assessing fit, confirming interest and delivering qualified introductions directly into existing ATS setups, with deployments live within 48 hours, hackajob explained.
“The hiring industry is stuck in a cycle of diminishing trust," said CEO Mark Chaffey.
"Archer exists to break that cycle. In 90 days, we’ve shown that when you fix relevancy at source, the economics of hiring change completely. We’re now bringing that to every role, not just tech.”
