About AVACAREER
AVACAREER is a mid-career recruitment platform from Tokyo-based NexusAdvisors in which AI agents conduct initial interviews between job seekers and employers. AI avatars assess fit and generate skill and culture match scores before human involvement. NexusAdvisors raised a 50 million yen seed round led by ANOBAKA and East Ventures in August 2026.

What is AVACAREER?
AVACAREER is an AI recruiting platform operated by NexusAdvisors in Japan. Its core idea is that AI meets first so people only meet the candidates worth meeting. An employer's AI, trained on the company's job description, interviews each candidate's personal AI agent. The platform then produces scores for skill matching and cultural fit.
For employers, that removes much of the traditional mid-career hiring process: there is no mass scout messaging, no document screening and no scheduling back-and-forth for early rounds. Hiring teams read the interview records and choose whom to meet. For job seekers, a personal AI represents them in early conversations with many companies at once.
AVACAREER focuses on the Japanese mid-career hiring market, and its site is in Japanese. That makes it most relevant for companies recruiting in Japan.
In August 2026, NexusAdvisors announced a 50 million yen seed round led by ANOBAKA and East Ventures, with participation from existing investor Skyland Ventures. The company plans to use the funds to accelerate product development, strengthen hiring and increase brand awareness for AVACAREER.
