SmashFly Raises $22 Million in Series B Funding
Summary
Today, SmashFly announced that it has raised an additional $22 million in Series B funding led by our friends at Bessemer Venture Partners with continued participation from OpenView. So much so that in 2015 alone, they doubled the size of their team, tripled new customers and released a new version of their software platform with a redesigned user experience and many industry-first product features. In fact, leading employers like Nestle Purina, The Cheesecake Factory, CDW and Great Clips rely on SmashFly’s Total Recruitment Marketing Platform to automate the process of attracting and nurturing candidates and converting them into job applicants, all in the hopes of helping recruiters make great hires faster and more cost effectively. At OpenView, we expect SmashFly’s market-leadership to continue as the labor market grows increasingly competitive and organizations further ramp hiring in 2016. The days of ‘post and pray’ are over: a proactive, short and long-term recruitment marketing strategy to find, attract, engage, nurture and convert candidates into stronger hires is necessary for the growth of today’s modern organizations.
