US-based recruitment marketplace Hired.com has raised $15m at a $200m valuation from a series B round featuring cable and telecommunications company Comcast, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Comcast, which invested through its Comcast Ventures unit, was joined in the round by Silicon Valley Bank, Lumia Capital, Crosslink Capital, Sierra Ventures, SoftTech VC and Sherpa Ventures.
Hired raised $15m in a March 2014 series A round that was co-led by Crosslink and Sierra, and which also featured SoftTech and Sherpa.
The company had earlier secured $2.7m in seed funding in a January 2013 seed round backed by Google Ventures, the corporate venturing unit of internet company Google, as well as SoftTech, New Enterprise Associates and Haystack.
Hired runs an online marketplace that matches people in the technology sector to employers. The employers can then make offers to the jobseekers.
The series B funding will be used to expand from Hired’s current offices in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston and London, and it aims to enter a new city every six weeks throughout 2015. It will also begin listing jobs in sales and may add further sectors in the future.
