Recfindr Raises £300K to Transform Recruitment Process
In a rapidly evolving job market, the quest for top talent is more competitive than ever. Recfindr, a groundbreaking British startup, is stepping up to transform the recruitment landscape with its innovative all-in-one platform. With a recent pre-seed funding round of £300K led by the esteemed SFC Capital and backed by high-profile angel investors, including Ezequiel Canestrari of Clearbank, Recfindr is poised to redefine how hiring managers navigate the recruitment process.
Founded by Alexandra Chirica, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in fintech recruitment, Recfindr tackles a critical challenge in today’s hiring environment. Despite the presence of over 30,000 recruitment agencies in the UK—predominantly boutique firms—hiring managers often resort to large corporate recruiters due to time constraints and lack of awareness. Recfindr’s platform bridges this gap, empowering hiring managers to connect directly with specialized recruitment agencies, thereby reducing the average time to fill key roles by an impressive 50%. This innovative solution is crucial for industries such as fintech, AI, and biotech, where specialized talent is in high demand.
As Recfindr expands its functionalities, it strengthens its position as a game-changer in the recruitment tech space.
The recent funding will expedite the development of new features and bolster marketing efforts, ensuring that Recfindr not only meets current market demands but also sets new standards in recruitment practices. With Alexandra at the helm, a proud solo female founder defying the odds in a male-dominated industry, Recfindr is a beacon of innovation and tenacity. Investors looking for promising ventures in the rec-tech sector should keep a close eye on this evolving platform, as it is well-positioned to capture a significant share of the £36 billion recruitment market in the UK.
