Madrid-based Job&Talent, a marketplace for essential work and AI-powered workforce management provider, announces the successful closing of its Series F fundraising round, securing €92 million in equity financing.
The 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, 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,” said Job&Talent.
“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.”
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.”
