UK-based recruitment marketplace Job Today secured $20m in series B funding today from investors including media companies Astremedia and Channel 4.
Flint Capital led the round, which included Accel, Mangrove Capital, Felix Capital and German Media Pool VC, the advertising-for-equity fund backed by media groups Regiocast, RTL II and Wall/JCDecaux.
Job Today operates an online recruitment platform that seeks to link employers with applicants in the UK or Spain within a 24 hour-period.
The platform has secured some 150,000 businesses and 2 million candidates since its May 2015 launch, and processes around a million applications each week. It will invest the capital in expansion.
The round brought Job Today’s overall funding to $30m and follows a $10m series A round featuring Accel, Mangrove Capital and Felix Capital in January this year.
