Stage 2 Capital invested 5 million in the tech-talent marketplace, which will be used to double down on its strategy of matching companies with talent from all over the world.
The Germany-based startup plans to use the funding to build new hubs in Africa and Europe, grow its team, and re-launch its proprietary platform to make it easier to find tech talent.
Following the launch of a new hub in Egypt that will be used to tap talent in Africa, the plan is to create more networks in the region. The hubs, which include the existing ones in Lisbon and Tbilisi, are intended to help its more than 100 clients hire local talent without having to establish operations in those countries.
Entering Egypt is the first step in our journey to bring the whole of Africa into the global talent pool. Setting up a local presence and working closely with local talent will allow us to open this market to our clients. With interesting projects from world's leading product companies comes knowledge transfer that the local senior talent wants, just as much as fair working rates.
