US-based on-demand recruitment platform operator Jobble completed an $11m funding round on Tuesday that was co-led by Axa Venture Partners, a corporate venturing subsidiary of insurance group Axa.
Fintech-focused venture capital firm Vestigo Ventures co-led the round, which also featured investment firm Guardian Strategic Ventures and VC fund Harlem Capital Partners.
Founded in 2015, Jobble runs an online recruitment marketplace that lets jobseekers find advertised temporary and hourly jobs while allowing employers to screen applicants for their expertise.
The funding will be used to enhance Jobble’s product development team and support sales and marketing campaigns as it aims to expand, first within the US and then internationally. Axa could also offer financial products like insurance to Jobble’s clients.
Jobble received $1.2m in a 2016 seed round featuring angel syndicate Boss, VC firm E-Merge and assorted angel investors including Chase Garbarino, Boris Revsin and Jason Carroll, according to BostInno. The company is also listed in the portfolio of early-stage VC fund Social Starts.
