Humu Inc


Laszlo Bock along with two former Google executives Wayne Crosby and Jessie Wisdom founded Humu, a startup devoted to making work more beneficial for people in different industries. Their main objective of the company is to employ Behavioral Change Technology in ensuring that employees are happier in their jobs. The technology has become popular because it establishes a viable technique to increase adoption of positive modifications in behavior. The company’s strategies are anchored on novel innovations in machine erudition and many years of conducting scientific research on human behavior. Current customers include Silicon Valley Bank, Farfetch, Ecolab, and American fast casual restaurant chain Sweetgreen.
Humu's mission statement is “Making work better everywhere through machine learning, science, and a little bit of love”. This is confirmed in the company's public materials and website. The company also built the Nudge Engine, a tool that identifies what changes need to happen where, and delivers tiny, scientifically-based interventions called nudges.
Business Insider was able to interview Bock and Crosby regarding the hiring process at Humu. The co-founders pointed out one quality that makes a certain candidate more prominent and that is the capability to convey his or her own story. This trait is just as essential as technical proficiency. Applicants get the chance to present their personal history and experiences to the interviewer.
In August 2023, Humu was acquired by Perceptyx.
