Online recruitment startup app Talentuno announced that it has received a €4 million investment for expansion plans. In a Series-A funding round, venture capital fund manager Hiventures and investment fund manager Bonitas invested €1.5 million and €2.5million, respectively, in the app. Talentuno uses crowdsourcing to find workers, allowing employers to crowdsource recruitment to individuals. According to the startup, the app “leverages technology to empower people to refer candidates from their network to open positions and earn money doing so.”

“Our tech-driven business model lets companies pay less and have a more efficient recruitment process,” Talentuno states. “By democratising the recruitment industry, companies get the chance to have thousands of recruiters work on their open positions, thus solving the resource issues they are facing, whereas people manage to earn money from recruitment anytime, anywhere.
