Helsinki-based talent acquisition startup Jobilla raises €2.16 million
Summary
Finnish talent acquisition startup Jobilla has announced the successful closure of a €2.16 million funding round led by tech investor Trind VC of which €700K was raised as loans and governmental grants. “We are thankful for the support shown by Trind VC and our other investors who believe in our vision to build the most automated and efficient recruitment processes possible and help businesses find the best talent for the right job,” said Jobilla’s co-founder and CEO Henri Nordström. “We saw an increasing number of companies struggling to find good candidates for their vacancies and that traditional recruitment software didn’t offer any working solutions to solve these problems. With customers that include RE/MAX, German Red Cross, and Securitas, Jobilla has seen a 106% uptick in sales over the past 12 months, despite the overall global recruitment market facing challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. They provide a unique digital recruiting platform that targets qualified candidates interested in what we have to offer as an employer while also allowing us to set our budget and maximize the return for every dollar spent.”
