Orbio raises $7.6M to scale AI-native HR platform across Europe and Latin America

Spanish startup Orbio secured $7.6 million to expand its AI-native human capital management platform. The round was led by existing investor Visionaries Club, with Plus Partners, Enzo Ventures, and 2100 Ventures joining. Funds will go to international expansion, AI engineering hiring, and faster product development.

What Orbio does

Founded in early 2025, Orbio uses AI agents to automate hiring, onboarding, and retention workflows. The system runs continuously and autonomously, reducing manual handoffs and tool sprawl. The pitch is simple: one AI layer that coordinates high-volume HR tasks end to end.

Early traction and outcomes

Since launching in June 2025, Orbio reports facilitating 60,000+ interviews for clients such as AT&T, Verisure, Honest Greens, and Vicio. Reported outcomes include 80% faster hiring cycles, a 20% drop in early turnover, and 99% candidate satisfaction during interviews.

Where it operates today

The company plans to expand further across Europe and Latin America.

Why this matters for HR

Enterprises are consolidating HR stacks while increasing demand for measurable outcomes: faster hiring, lower churn, and better candidate experience. Incumbents like Personio, Deel, and HiBob have broad suites. Orbio's angle is building natively on AI rather than retrofitting automation onto legacy modules.

With global HR software spend projected to exceed $40 billion annually by 2027, investor interest is shifting to platforms that prove time-to-hire, quality-of-hire, and retention gains. Expect closer scrutiny on data security, bias controls, and integration with existing HRIS/ATS systems.

Practical checklist for HR leaders

• Map your top three bottlenecks: sourcing, screening, interview scheduling, or onboarding handoffs.
• Pilot AI agents on one high-volume role with clear KPIs: time-to-hire, candidate satisfaction, and 90-day retention.
• Validate integrations: your ATS/HRIS, calendar, email, and assessment tools must connect cleanly.
• Set guardrails: bias auditing, audit logs, human-in-the-loop steps for final decisions, and candidate consent language.
• Pressure-test vendors on data practices (PII handling, model training boundaries, SOC 2/ISO 27001) and regional compliance.
• Plan change management: recruiter workflows, hiring manager training, and candidate communications.

Competitive context

Orbio enters a crowded space where suites compete on breadth while point tools compete on precision. Its success will hinge on reliable automation across the full hiring lifecycle, enterprise-grade integrations, and proof that AI agents can maintain candidate experience at scale.

The bottom line

The funding and early traction suggest growing demand for end-to-end AI in HR. If you're consolidating tools, evaluate AI-native platforms alongside established suites-run a controlled pilot, track the metrics that matter, and scale what works.
