Edtechreview.in is proud to announce a major fundraising round for Barcelona-based recruitment startup Workfully. Indico led the seed round, which raised $1.27 million (€1.2 million). The round was also supported by Pitchdrive, Secways, and other investors.
Workfully was founded in 2021 with the goal of creating a more trusted recruitment experience and becoming the creator platform for a new recruiting economy. It connects experienced talent partners from around the world and helps companies hire more efficiently and transparently. Companies in industries such as Biotech, Crypto, DeepTech, eCommerce, Fintech, MarketPlaces, SaaS, and TravelTech have all used the platform to fill key senior positions.
Valerio Rossi, Workfully’s Co-founder and CEO, said: “We believe that building a recruiting business in the future will look much more like being a content creator: starting on a platform like Workfully, building an audience and then monetizing that audience in-platform.”
This investment will enable Workfully to help more companies get the talent they need to succeed in their business. It will also allow the platform to upskill high-potential candidates with no technical skills so they can access higher-paying positions.
Stefano Tacconi, Workfully’s Co-founder and CCO, added: “We are creating a platform for recruiters that will make it easier for them to find the right talent for the right positions. This is especially important for teachers, who need to find the best-fit candidates for their educational positions.”
Stephan Morais, Managing General Partner of Indico Capital, said: “The talent war is here to stay, and so are valuable specialized human recruiters who need the tools and software to support increasingly demanding global clients. Workfully brings a fresh perspective into solving a problem that is only getting bigger and harder. We are happy to support yet another Iberian startup with global ambitions from day one.”
This fundraising round is a great achievement for Workfully and shows that businesses are willing to invest in digital recruitment solutions to access the best talent. With this new funding, the company will continue to develop its platform and expand its reach, ultimately helping recruiters and teachers find the right talent for their positions.
