AXA Venture Partners Invests in Staffing Platform Zenjob

Berlin-based tech startup Zenjob has raised €15m in a Series B financing round led by AXA Venture Partners.

Established in 2015, Zenjob offers a recruiting platform for one-day & odd jobs; targeting students. On average, the company staffs over 10,000 on-demand temporary jobs with students every month. Here’s How It Works: a job seeker creates an online account, conducts a 45 minute introductory talk with Zenjob to later be offered “jobs, jobs, jobs.”

“Traditional temporary employment agencies are still struggling with a digital transformation in the market. What the staffing sector is lacking are innovative products. With our automated software technology, we manage to place the majority of personnel within only a few hours. At the same time, we offer our clients long-term planning security.” – Cofounder and CEO of Zenjob, Fritz Trott.

Bottom Line: AXA’s investment in Hackajob comes to mind.
