There are talented managers out there, but without the right tools, there is a good chance that you will not be able to find the perfect candidate for a particular job.
New methods financed by 198 investors
That's why companies are finding so many different methods of connecting talented people with the perfect jobs (and retaining them), and venture capitalists have taken note. Over the past decade, 198 venture capitalists have funded US-based human capital services companies, according to the PitchBook Platform. Of the investors, 40 have between US $$ 50 million and US $$ 500 million in assets under management, and another 51 have between US $$ 1 billion and US $$ 10 billion. In addition, more than half of all investors have completed at least one deal in the industry in the last two years.
There is also movement in Spain
«Esta misma semana, se anunciaba en España la ronda de financiación que ha levantado Jobandtalent de 2,5MM€. Se dedica al tratamiento del Big data orientado al reclutamiento, utilizando algoritmos y funciona como un consultor de reclutamiento virtual o asistente personal, que identifica y reconoce patrones lingüísticos dentro de la estructura y la redacción de ambas ofertas de empleo y currículos.» comenta Diego Gutierrez experto en financiación alternativa en ABRA INVEST.
«También el mes pasado vimos la inversión en Traity by Latam Digital and other relevant investors such as 500startups or Bertelsmann. This startup offers a technology for measuring personality characteristics to create statistically significant profiles of users, and contribute to the creation of more efficient markets on the Internet, where curricular information can be complemented with other types of personal characteristics. These initiatives join others also born in Spain a few years ago, such as Catenon and SNtalent » señala Diego Gutierrez.
