Ramped Careers Announces Sale to Teal, Expanding Its AI-Powered Job Search Platform Into Automated Applications

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teal, the job search and career development platform trusted by 4 million professionals to manage their job search and career development, today announced it has acquired Ramped, the AI-powered “Autopilot” platform that automates job applications and accelerates hiring outcomes. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition deepens Teal’s investment in building the most comprehensive, end-to-end job search platform - uniting AI-driven discovery, a fully integrated job board, advanced application tools, and now automated application workflows.

Ramped allows job seekers to set personalized preferences, identify relevant roles, and apply using AI. Its Autopilot technology tailors resumes and cover letters and submits applications for candidates. To date, Ramped has supported more than 400,000 job seekers, helping active users land jobs within 90 days through broader and more efficient applications.

“Our vision has always been to support job seekers across every stage of their search, from exploration to application to outcome,” said David Fano, Founder and CEO of Teal. “Ramped’s technology allows us to extend Teal’s platform deeper into the application process, pairing our strategic guidance and integrated job board with an additional layer of AI-driven execution. Together, it creates a more seamless, comprehensive, and effective experience for anyone navigating a career transition.”

• AI-powered job discovery & personalized recommendations
• Integrated job board with high-quality, verified listings
• Resume, profile, and application optimization tools
• Job tracking and workflow management
• Automated application capabilities powered by Ramped

This broader suite offers job seekers both the strategic clarity and operational efficiency needed to navigate a competitive market with confidence and effectiveness.

Over the coming months, Teal will begin integrating Ramped’s automation technology directly into its platform. Ramped users will transition to Teal and gain access to Teal’s complete suite of tools, including its industry-leading resume builder, job tracker, and AI career guidance features.

“The synergy between our platforms opens up incredible opportunities for innovation,” said Mitch Deforest, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Ramped, who will join Teal as an advisor. “Together, we’re building an AI-first job search experience that helps users focus on the right roles while our automation handles the busywork. I’m excited to work with Teal’s team to shape the next generation of career technology.”

“Joining forces with Teal accelerates our mission to democratize the job search through AI-powered automation,” said Danny Leonard, Co-Founder and CEO of Ramped, who will serve as an advisor to Teal. “We’ve proven that intelligent automation can dramatically improve placement outcomes. With Teal’s platform and reach, we can bring those results to millions more job seekers worldwide.”

Teal is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for Ramped users and maintaining the accessibility and value they rely on.
