Stockholm-based Fika Jobs has raised $4M in pre-seed funding to build a video-first hiring platform that uses AI agents (powered by Google Gemini) to conduct candidate interviews. Instead of traditional resumes, candidates complete a ~10-minute AI video interview, which is then turned into short video clips forming a live profile that employers can browse. Unlike competitors focused on employer-side screening, Fika centers the experience on candidates maintaining persistent video profiles. The platform is free for job seekers; employers pay a 10% placement fee on first-year salary upon a successful hire. Early access opens this week, with a broader launch planned for fall 2026, starting in Sweden. The round was led by Luminar Ventures.
