Work on technology government actually deserves

We're building the tools that help millions of Americans find a career in public service. Join us.

Why Holly?

Holly was founded on a simple belief: HR is how government competes for talent and delivers on its promises to communities — not administrative overhead. We're building the AI-native classification, compensation, and labor-relations platform that gives public-sector HR teams the tools they've never had.

Forty-plus city and county HR departments already use Holly to do work that used to take months in hours. Our customers tell us things like "this would have taken nine months and you did it in minutes" and "we have closed the chapter on expensive consultants that don't work for us." That's the kind of impact we get to build for, every day.

What it's like to work at Holly

"At our core, we are a team of problem solvers passionate about public service and deeply committed to building a stronger government workforce. I love seeing solutions move from discovery conversations to actual deployed technology that improves outcomes for public agencies!"

Lindsey McKhann

Founding Account Manager

"Holly is a place full of doers who dream big. Time and again, when I think 'this is going to be a big undertaking but could help an agency a lot,' the team finds a way to think it through and then actually build it — and somehow, untangling hard problems together with this group is actually… fun."

Pranathi Ganni

Head of Deployment

"As the founding engineer at Holly, I've gone from whiteboarding our first data models to watching county HR directors light up when a job classification that used to take weeks now takes minutes. It's been more than rewarding to be a part of a team that genuinely believes if government works better, communities thrive — and that shared conviction makes every hard problem worth solving."
