Workday Ventures, the corporate venturing unit of human resources software provider Workday, has exited US-based job-hunting mobile app Jobr, following an acquisition by recruitment platform Monster Worldwide.
The terms of the deal remain undisclosed.
Founded in 2014, Jobr operates an app through which job seekers pursue or reject job opportunities by swiping left or right on available job postings. The company claims to have facilitated more than 100 million such swipes.
In July 2015, then newly launched Workday Ventures revealed an investment of undisclosed size in Jobr. This followed a $2m seed round in 2014 that included Lerer Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Eniac Ventures, Lowercase Capital, the Hive, Tekton Ventures and Structure Capital.
Having already worked in conjunction for more than a year, Monster plans to integrate the app with its recruitment website Monster.com, prioritising features such as single sign-on for users and streamlining the process for Monster’s membership.
Staff and core assets will be retained to grow Monster’s mobile capabilities and speed up the development of the mobile aspect of its recruitment platform.
Jobr will be rolled out into Monster’s other markets throughout the rest of the year into early 2017.
Mark Stoever, president and chief operating officer, at Monster, said: “In just a few short years, Jobr has built a simple and consumer-friendly, mobile-first approach to connecting jobs and people. Bringing the Jobr app and team to Monster will enhance our leading global talent platform for job search, people search and related solutions across mobile channels.”
