About Us

Holly is on a mission to bring millions of Americans into public service through software that treats them with hospitality and care

Hiring is a common and addressable pain point across 17,000 local governments in the US, causing 1.1 million vacant government jobs. The average time to hire in the public sector is 135 days, compared to 30 in the private sector, contributing to loss of the best candidates, $85B in annual state and local overtime spending, and declining public service delivery nationwide.

Hiring takes longer because the HR directors and analysts use outdated software - poor outbound recruiting tools and opaque process management and internal visibility are key blockers to progress. In addition, poor data access means that cities struggle with keeping their pay and positions aligned with the market, relying instead on “class & compensation” consultants who provide static and out-of-date salary benchmarking reports that regularly cost $100k or more for midsize cities. The same consultants produce the same reports over and over, while cities fill in the cracks with time-intensive Excel-based intergovernmental surveys.

Holly provides local governments with a better option by building the first AI-native HRIS driving performance and collaboration for governments, revolutionizing hiring in the public sector. At full scale, our product will encompass the employee lifecycle, from recruitment, to onboarding, to performance management, to benefits management, to offboarding. To start, we’re building our first product, which helps governments design better jobs using cross-agency benchmarking and automated description creation.

Perks and Benefits

We offer a platinum health insurance plan, vision & dental, and a competitive equity package. As we grow our customer base, you will have the opportunity to visit client sites with Brendan & Cherie and engage in codesigning work with the customer.

We're open to different models of working locations to start but would want to be collocated in NYC within 6 months of you starting.
