The seed round was led by Hambro Perks to support platform development and London expansion.
Tempo operates an end-to-end recruitment platform that uses machine learning and video interviewing to match candidates with employers. The service helps firms reduce hiring times and recruitment costs.
Tempo has secured £1m in a seed funding round led by Hambro Perks. The capital will be directed towards enhancing the platform technology and growing the business presence in London.
Launched last year, the company uses video profiles and artificial intelligence to facilitate rapid hiring without standard agency fees. Its platform handles the recruitment process from initial profile review to final job offers.
Chief executive Ben Chatfield noted that the system removes traditional recruitment friction while improving candidate engagement. The fresh financing positions the firm to scale operations further following its market entry.
