/EIN News/ -- MADRID, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Job&Talent, a world-leading marketplace for essential work and AI-powered workforce management provider, today announces the successful closing of its Series F fundraising round, securing EUR 92 million in equity financing to accelerate the next generation of workforce management. The round, which values the company at EUR 1.3 billion, included participation from new and existing investors such as Atomico, BlackRock, DN Capital, Hercules, Infravia, Kibo, and Kinnevik among others.

This new funding will fuel Job&Talent’s long-term strategic goals, including accelerating international growth and major advances in AI-powered technology. The company will invest heavily in sales and product development, with a strong focus on expanding its AI capabilities to enhance workforce reliability and productivity for clients.

As part of its innovation strategy, Job&Talent is developing a suite of AI agents, each designed to simplify and optimize a specific aspect of workforce management, supporting candidates, workers, and supervisors alike. These intelligent agents are trained using invaluable operational data from over 1 million worker placements and millions of logged shifts across the platform, including performance metrics, shift management, absenteeism, and more.

The AI agents—whose expertise ranges from recruiter to account manager and attendance coach—work across text, voice, and video to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, as well as proactively supporting employers to hire more efficiently, manage their workforce with greater control, and significantly reduce operational costs. For example, agents can call unlimited candidates within minutes of application, anticipate staffing needs and automate shift planning, and proactively manage attendance by detecting no-shows in real-time.

The first AI agent launched was Clara, Job&Talent’s recruitment agent. Currently being tested with select clients, Clara has already conducted over 180,000 interviews in just a few months, equivalent to the output of thousands of recruiters, and has directly contributed to more than 7,000 hires, helping deliver industry-leading fill rates, even during peak periods of demand. With multiple agents already in beta testing, the company plans to launch more agents throughout the year to address different areas of workforce management.

This year, the company will also expand access to its platform and AI agents to include permanent workers, enabling companies to benefit from its capabilities and cost savings across their entire workforce — not just those staffed by Job&Talent. The rollout is starting with select existing clients and will be available to all companies in the second half of the year. With this expansion, Job&Talent extends its value proposition to the entire frontline workforce, offering companies the flexibility to seamlessly hire and manage both temporary and permanent workers through a single, integrated platform.

Over the past two years, Job&Talent has successfully navigated a challenging macroeconomic environment by prioritizing profitability, operational efficiency, and product innovation. In 2024 alone, Job&Talent placed over 300,000 workers globally in more than 3,250 companies in key sectors such as logistics, warehousing, and retail. Since launching in 2021, the US has steadily grown to become Job&Talent’s largest and fastest-growing market, demonstrating a +27% YoY revenue increase in Q4 2024. This growth was driven by a nation-wide rollout of its technology-driven workforce management platform. Earlier this year, the company expanded platform availability to all 10 countries in which it operates, reinforcing its global footprint.

Juan Urdiales, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Job&Talent, said: “This capital injection reaffirms our shared vision for the future of Job&Talent. Thanks to the platform we have built over the past years, we are now well-positioned to evolve into a fully integrated employment platform that helps companies manage their temporary and internal workforces more efficiently. Our next-generation AI agents will bring major improvements in productivity, provide better opportunities for workers, and unlock crucial cost savings for companies.”
