The interview notetaker has become a recruiting platform with $110 million in backing. Its wager: the conversation you were too busy typing to hear can teach the rest of the hiring process what to do.
Textio is a Seattle-based software company that uses augmented writing - natural language processing and machine learning - to help managers and recruiters write clearer, less biased workplace language. Born from a linguistics PhD's research into how word choice shapes who applies for jobs and how feedback lands, Textio turned bias into something measurable: it scores job posts and performance reviews in real time and suggests fixes. In 2026 it extended that thesis into hiring with Lavalier, an interview-intelligence product.
