News of the Day
Jobandtalent, a Madrid-based startup that uses AI to match hourly workers with companies, has raised €92 million ($103 million) in a Series F round valuing the firm at €1.3 billion — a sharp drop from its $2.35 billion valuation in 2021. Despite being a down round, the company frames the move as a strategic recalibration amid broader market shifts. Once buoyed by pandemic-driven demand for flexible labour, Jobandtalent now finds itself at a crossroads: caught between growing worker shortages and a slowing Eurozone economy while pushing to integrate AI deeper into its platform. Its new AI recruitment agent “Clara” has already conducted 180,000 interviews, but as the company doubles down on automation, it walks a fine line — promising efficiency and cost savings to clients while betting that AI won’t erode the very jobs it helps fill.
Great startups don't get noticed by using tricks to get people's attention. They do it by making something so amazing that people tell their friends about it.
