We recently shared word on Jobbio Higher, a fab next-generation careers event organised by (as the name of the event suggests, global careers marketplace Jobbio).
Now we are delighted to announce that Jobbio have raised an additional $10m in Series A funding to accelerate growth in UK & North America with the platform currently growing at a rate of 250,000 talent users a month.
Global careers marketplace, Jobbio, announced last week that it has completed an additional $10m in series A financing, bringing them to a total of $15 million raised in the last 12 months. The company will use the funds to accelerate its growth and scale its operations in the UK and North American and Canadian markets, double its existing team and build upon its strategic partnership base, which currently includes a number of high profile organisations, publishers and programs such as WeWork and IDG.
From just a handful of employees in Dublin 2 years ago, brothers Stephen Quinn and John Quinn have expanded to 60 employees across Dublin, London and New York and continue to grow their sales, product and marketing teams. The two sided careers marketplace aims to simplify job discovery and application for both talent and companies. More than 6,000 companies are now active on Jobbio including, Transferwise, Shazam, Nexmo, Revolut and Intel along with more than 250,000 talent signing up every month, making Jobbio one of the world’s fastest growing SaaS platforms.
Investors in the round include IIU and Barry Maloney, Founder of Balderton Capital.
Barry Maloney said this of the investment deal:
''Jobbio is bringing something genuinely different to the hiring arena. They've achieved a huge amount in a very short space of time, and I'm delighted to be involved in the next phase of investment as they further expand into the US”.
Big Congrats to all the team at Jobbio from Startacus HQ - it's been fab to have seen their progress over the last couple of years and we are excited to see where this latest round of investment takes them as they continue to scale.
