Job&Talent, a marketplace for essential work and AI-based workforce management provider, announced the closing of a Series F fundraising round, securing €92 million in equity financing to accelerate the next generation of workforce management. The funding round, which values the company at €1.3 billion, included participation from new and existing investors such as Atomico, BlackRock, DN Capital, Hercules, Infravia, Kibo, Kinnevik, and others.
This new funding round will advance Job&Talent’s long-term strategic goals, including accelerating international growth and significant advances in AI-powered technology. The company will also invest heavily in sales and product development, with a strong focus on expanding its AI capabilities to enhance workforce reliability and client productivity.
What Job&Talent does: Job&Talent is developing a suite of AI agents. Each is 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 1+ million worker placements and millions of logged shifts across the platform, including performance metrics, shift management, absenteeism, and more.
These 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 and proactively support employers to hire more efficiently, manage a workforce with greater control, and significantly reduce operational costs. For example, agents can call unlimited candidates within minutes of application, anticipate staffing needs, automate shift planning, and proactively manage attendance by detecting no-shows in real-time.
The first AI agent launched was Clara, which is Job&Talent’s recruitment agent. Currently being tested with certain 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. And 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 expand access to its platform and AI agents to include permanent workers. This will enable companies to benefit from its capabilities and cost savings across their entire workforce, not just those staffed by Job&Talent. This rollout will start with select existing clients and will be available to all companies in the second half of the year.
Through this expansion, Job&Talent extends its value proposition to the entire frontline workforce, offering companies the flexibility to seamlessly hire and manage temporary and permanent workers through a single, integrated platform.
In the past two years, Job&Talent has successfully navigated a challenging macroeconomic environment by prioritizing profitability, operational efficiency, and product innovation. Last year alone, Job&Talent placed over 300,000 workers globally in more than 3,250 companies in key sectors like logistics, warehousing, and retail.
