A London startup building a recruitment management system for employers has raised £300k in a pre-seed funding round.
Recfindr is building the first all-in-one platform that gives hiring managers full control over the recruitment process, in a bid to reduce the time hiring managers take to fill these urgent roles by 50%.
The firm, which was founded last year, said the funding from the pre-seed round will be used to hire engineering talent to further develop the platform.
Alexandra Chirica, founder of Recfindr, said she developed the platform to address the “deeply fragmented” market of UK recruitment agencies. More than 160 recruitment agencies have already signed up to the platform to connect with hiring managers.
“You wouldn’t hire a generalist to perform complex surgery, or defend you in court or build the software for your company. And yet we continue to hire generalist recruiters,” Chirica said.
“Recfindr gives the power to hiring managers and allows them to access the specialists they need, whilst managing the process in one simple platform.”
The round was led by SFC Capital, the UK’s leading SEIS fund for innovative companies. Also participating were a number of high profile angel investors, including Ezequiel Canestrari, the European COO of Clearbank, who backed the company after using the platform.
