Inc.’s annual Female Founders list celebrates the nation’s most innovative women entrepreneurs, who collectively generated approximately $12.3 billion in 2025
San Francisco, CA, March 10, 2026 – GoodTime is proud to announce that Ahryun Moon has been named to Inc.’s 2026 Female Founders 500, an annual list honoring the most dynamic women business leaders in the United States. The honor recognizes founders whose bold ideas, resilience, and execution are shaping the future of their industries.
The 2026 Female Founders honorees collectively generated approximately $12.3 billion in 2025 revenue and $12.2 billion in funding to date, underscoring the economic impact of women-led businesses across sectors.
Each year, Inc. editors evaluate applications through a rigorous, multi-round selection process. Founders are assessed on both quantitative performance metrics, including revenue growth, funding, sales, and audience size, as well as qualitative factors such as innovation, social impact, and brand momentum. The final list represents entrepreneurs who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and measurable progress over the past year. Previous honorees have included such game-changing leaders as Billie Jean King, Sallie Krawcheck, Serena Williams, and Emma Grede — all of whom have transformed their industries and broken barriers along the way.
“We started GoodTime because hiring should be about people, not logistics,” said Ahryun Moon, founder and CEO of GoodTime. “Too many incredible candidates are lost to slow processes and manual coordination. Being recognized alongside so many inspiring female founders is an honor and a reminder that when we challenge the status quo and build technology that puts people first, we can reshape how entire industries work.”
Honoree selection is also honed through the evaluation of the program’s advisory board, which includes Patty Arvielo, co-founder and CEO of New American Funding; Tiffany Dufu, president of the Tory Burch Foundation; Joy Mangano, co-founder and CEO of CleanBoss; Michelle Cordeiro Grant, founder and CEO of GORGIE; Sheila Lirio Marcelo, co-founder and CEO of Ohai.ai and founder of Care.com; and Melissa Mash, co-founder and CEO of Dagne Dover.

The company’s platform helps global organizations streamline hiring by automating even the most complex interview workflows — from multi-day panels across time zones to high-volume hiring events — enabling recruiters to focus on candidate relationships instead of manual coordination. Today, companies including Databricks, Aon, HubSpot, and HelloFresh rely on GoodTime to power faster, more efficient hiring experiences.
Moon has also helped pioneer the use of agentic AI in hiring operations, introducing technology that actively coordinates interviews, reduces administrative work, and keeps hiring teams aligned. Through this approach, GoodTime continues to champion a more human-centered hiring process — where automation removes friction so recruiters and candidates can focus on meaningful conversations and better outcomes.
“Each year, we are increasingly amazed by the extraordinary leaders on our Inc. Female Founders 500 list,” says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. “The honorees on this year’s list include innovators in AI, beauty and wellness trendsetters winning devoted fans, and nonprofit leaders making a real impact in their communities.

Today, GoodTime released its fifth annual Hiring Insights Report, a comprehensive analysis based on an independent study of more than 500 U.S. talent acquisition (TA) leaders. The report reveals a hiring market under unprecedented strain.
90% of companies failed to meet their hiring goals, but a small group of top-performing organizations has pulled ahead by embracing AI to scale hiring without adding or reducing headcount. Instead, they are scaling through automation, AI-driven scheduling, and standardized workflows, achieving better outcomes with the same or fewer resources.
Key findings from the 2026 Hiring Insights Report include:
A hiring system under strain: 90% of companies missed their hiring goals, and 1 in 3 missed by a wide margin.
Top performers scale without headcount growth: High-performing TA teams (those who achieved 75% goal attainment or more) are significantly less likely to increase headcount, relying instead on automation and AI-orchestrated workflows to improve efficiency.
Scheduling is breaking hiring: Recruiters spend 38% of their time scheduling interviews—the single biggest operational tax measured.
AI is no longer optional: 99.8% of TA teams use, pilot, or plan to use AI agents, making AI effectively mandatory.
Time-to-hire continues to worsen: 60% of organizations saw time-to-hire increase, while only 1 in 9 managed to hire faster.
Fraud becomes the top threat: Fraudulent or AI-assisted candidates are now the #1 anticipated hiring challenge in 2026, surpassing lack of qualified talent.
Talent leaders confront a new reality in 2026
“The hiring challenge in 2026 isn’t about adding more people or cutting teams. It’s about redesigning how hiring work gets done,” said Ahryun Moon, CEO and Co-Founder of GoodTime. “The teams that are outperforming everyone else aren’t increasing or reducing headcount. They’ve restructured their organizations around an AI-enabled future, where automation handles coordination and complexity so humans keep their focus on judgment, relationships, and the moments that truly require a human touch.”
The report shows that while nearly all TA teams have adopted AI, how AI is used (not whether it’s used) is what separates top performers from everyone else. Leading teams have reorganized roles and workflows around AI-powered scheduling, analytics, and orchestration, rather than adding recruiters or relying on top-of-funnel automation. This approach allows them to move faster, surface better signals, protect candidate experience, and improve quality-of-hire—without growing their teams.
How top-performing teams are adapting for 2026
The 2026 Hiring Insights Report highlights several strategies top-performing TA teams are using to succeed despite mounting pressure:
Redesigning roles around an AI-enabled operating model
Rather than adding recruiters or coordinators, leaders are reorganizing responsibilities so AI handles coordination, scheduling, and operational complexity—freeing humans to focus on judgment, candidate relationships, and hiring decisions that require context and nuance.
Replacing manual coordination with automated scheduling
Scheduling remains the single biggest operational bottleneck in hiring. Teams using automated or AI-driven interview scheduling are 1.6 times more likely to achieve near-perfect hiring goal attainment, directly tying scheduling modernization to measurable performance gains.
Using AI for insight—not just automation
Top performers prioritize AI-powered analytics and reporting to identify bottlenecks, monitor funnel health, and guide decision-making. This shift from task automation to workflow intelligence enables faster, more consistent execution without increasing team size.
Standardizing communication to protect candidate experience
High-performing teams have also centralized candidate communication and provide self-scheduling and self-rescheduling, reducing delays while delivering the speed, transparency, and flexibility candidates now expect.
A fragmented hiring market and a clearer path forward
The report finds that TA leaders are divided on whether hiring conditions will become more or less competitive in 2026, reflecting a fragmented market shaped by role-specific demand and uneven adoption of modern hiring infrastructure.
But one conclusion is consistent: teams that rely on manual coordination (and attempt to keep pace with growth by adding hiring headcount) are falling behind, while those that redesign hiring around AI-enabled systems are pulling ahead. The path forward is clear: build scalable, disciplined hiring operations where AI absorbs coordination and complexity, automates execution, surfaces insight, and enables humans to focus on judgment, relationships, and high-value decision-making.
The 2026 Hiring Insights Report offers in-depth analysis and actionable guidance for talent leaders navigating this new era of AI-driven hiring, rising fraud risk, and persistent operational strain. The full report is available at goodtime.io.

Today, GoodTime, a leader in human-centric AI for hiring, introduces Orchestra, a coordinated digital workforce of AI agents working behind the scenes to eliminate delays, reduce manual work, and transform the way companies hire.
The hiring landscape has changed dramatically in the last few years, but most recruiting processes haven’t kept up. Manual tasks, slow follow-ups, and scattered systems continue to drag teams down and create poor hiring experiences. That’s the challenge GoodTime solves with Orchestra.

“The hiring process is overdue for a reset — and Orchestra is our answer,” said Ahryun Moon, Co-Founder and CEO of GoodTime. “We’re not building simple bots that follow scripts. We’re building AI that works like a team — constantly learning, coordinating, and making hiring smoother for everyone involved. This isn’t automation for automation’s sake.

More time for people-focused work — Agents handle the busywork so TA teams can focus on high-impact moments.

With AI agents handling the heavy lifting, hiring teams can focus on what they do best: building real relationships and making great hires.”
Orchestra agents support talent teams at every step, eliminating the operational drag that slows hiring down, while keeping people at the center of every interaction. They work in concert with recruiters, coordinators, hiring managers, and candidates to keep everyone supported through each step of the hiring journey.
Orchestra brings speed, clarity, and consistency to every step of the hiring journey:
Instantly screen applicants and match them to roles based on custom job criteria, and automatically prioritize top candidates
Build, categorize, and refine job specifications using AI-powered suggestions
Book and reschedule interviews based on real-time availability — no back-and-forth required
Keep candidates warm, informed, and engaged with timely, personalized messages
Deliver answers to candidate FAQs using company-specific documentation
Summarize interview scorecards and consolidate team feedback for faster, clearer decisions

Everything happens automatically — but never out of sight. Every action is visible, traceable, and designed to keep the talent team in control. When agents and people work together — each doing what they do best — the result is faster hires, smarter decisions, and a more human experience for everyone involved.
This is AI designed to elevate the human side of hiring, not erase it.

March 11, 2025 — SAN FRANCISCO

Honoree selection is also honed through the evaluation of the program’s advisory board: Cate Luzio, founder and CEO of Luminary; Dany Garcia, founder, CEO, and chairperson of the Garcia Companies; Pinky Cole Hayes, founder and CEO of Slutty Vegan; Anu Duggal, founding partner at Female Founders Fund; Katherine Power, serial entrepreneur and partner at Greycroft; Tiffany Dufu, president of the Tory Burch Foundation and founder of the Cru; and Kay Koplovitz, co-founder and chair at Springboard Enterprises, founder of USA Network.

As time-to-hire rises, 93% of talent leaders plan to boost AI investments in 2025, GoodTime’s report reveals.
January 28, 2025 — SAN FRANCISCO
Today, GoodTime released its fourth annual Hiring Insights Report, a comprehensive analysis based on an independent study of over 500 U.S. talent acquisition (TA) leaders, revealing the most pressing challenges and emerging trends shaping the hiring landscape in 2025.
The report uncovers a challenging talent market where TA teams met just 47.9% of their hiring goals in 2024 on average, marking the lowest success rate recorded in the past four years. Persistent bottlenecks, increasing time-to-hire, and rising candidate expectations have strained hiring efficiency across industries.
At the same time, the report reveals key opportunities for 2025, including greater use of AI and automation, streamlined hiring tools, and a renewed focus on candidate experience — strategies that top-performing teams are already embracing to stay competitive.
Key findings from the 2025 Hiring Insights Report:
Time-to-hire challenges: 60% of organizations reported longer time-to-hire in 2024, with interview cancellations and scheduling delays identified as the top bottlenecks.
Surging AI adoption: 99% of talent acquisition teams now use AI and automation to streamline hiring processes, with 93% planning additional technology investments in 2025.
Candidate experience focus: Top-performing teams were 55% more likely to focus on candidate experience improvements.
Sector-specific insights: Healthcare was the only sector to show year-over-year improvement in hiring goal attainment (56%), while retail, manufacturing, financial services, and technology all lagged further behind.
Talent leaders eye bold moves in 2025
“The data makes it clear — talent teams can’t afford to stay stuck in the hiring struggles of 2024,” said Ahryun Moon, CEO and Co-Founder of GoodTime. “The path forward demands bold investments in automation and AI to eliminate bottlenecks and meet hiring goals faster. But efficiency alone isn’t enough. The teams that will win in 2025 are those that balance speed with exceptional, human-centric hiring experiences.”
The 2025 Hiring Insights Report shows that talent acquisition leaders are taking decisive action to improve hiring efficiency and outcomes in the year ahead, and focusing on five key areas to overcome hiring challenges:
Driving operational efficiency with AI and automation
AI and automation are now essential tools for modern talent acquisition. 99% of teams reported the use of these technologies and nearly all leaders are planning additional investments in 2025. Streamlined and automated workflows reduce administrative burdens, allowing recruiters to focus on strategic hiring efforts and improving overall operational efficiency.
Eliminating bottlenecks in the hiring process
Time-to-hire remains a critical challenge, with 60% of organizations reporting delays, largely due to interview cancellations and scheduling issues. Addressing these bottlenecks requires proactive strategies such as AI-powered analytics for identifying recurring issues, intelligent interviewer selection tools, and automated reminders and rescheduling workflows. These efforts help reduce scheduling conflicts and improve hiring speed.
Enhancing the candidate experience to stay competitive
Top-performing TA teams set themselves apart by prioritizing the candidate experience. Personalized experiences, such as branded candidate portals with real-time updates and anonymous feedback collection, keep candidates informed and engaged throughout the hiring process. Additionally, AI-driven insights help interviewers come better prepared for conversations, ensuring a smoother and more effective interview that creates a more engaging candidate experience.
Leveraging data-driven insights for better decision-making
Data and analytics have transformed hiring strategies, and nearly half of teams reported using AI-powered insights for better decision-making. Leading organizations are using these tools to detect inefficiencies, benchmark performance against industry standards, and implement real-time analytics for continuous process improvement, to make more informed decisions faster.
Committing to continuous process improvement
TA leaders emphasize the need for continuous refinement of hiring processes to stay competitive. This includes regular process audits using hiring data and feedback, ongoing interviewer training, and aligning hiring strategies with broader business goals. A culture of continuous improvement ensures hiring teams remain agile and capable of adapting to evolving market conditions.
How challenges differed across sectors
The 2025 Hiring Insights Report revealed that hiring challenges varied significantly across sectors. For example, healthcare was the only sector to report year-over-year improvements in hiring goal attainment, reaching 56%. Conversely, the retail and manufacturing sectors faced some of the highest struggles, with hiring goal attainment dipping to 36% — its lowest in three years.
The financial services and technology sectors cited interview scheduling delays and capacity issues as primary barriers to success. Companies in these sectors have increasingly adopted automated interview scheduling tools and leverage AI to manage interviewer capacity more effectively. Meanwhile, the retail sector reported a surge in candidate drop-offs due to prolonged hiring timelines, highlighting the critical need for faster, more efficient hiring processes.
The 2025 Hiring Insights Report offers further analysis and detailed recommendations for talent leaders seeking to improve hiring outcomes. The full report is available at goodtime.io.
