Brazil-based job marketplace Emprego Ligado has raised $7m in series A funding in a round featuring Qualcomm Ventures, the corporate venturing unit of telecommunications technology producer Qualcomm.
Venture Capital firm Monashees Capital, media conglomerate Grupo RBS and investment company e.Bricks also participated.
Emprego Ligado is a recruitment platform for both companies and candidates. Interviews can be arranged via SMS when both parties have expressed interest in the filling of a position. The funding will be used for international expansion.
In 2012 the company disclosed it had received seed funding from 500 Startups, Initial Capital, Rising Ventures, Fortify.vc and angel investors.
