German-based job board WorkerHero announced it raised €4 million in a Series A financing round.
The round was led by media group Mediahuis.
WorkerHero said in a press release that the media group’s extensive industry experience and commitment to innovation make them the perfect investor for WorkerHero. Existing investors such as 10x Founders and Bonsai Partners also invested in this round.
WorkerHero was founded in 2021 by Richard Fischer, Steven Miller, Michael König and Emanuel Wernitz with the aim of counteracting the shortage of skilled workers.
The platform connects companies with high-quality candidates through AI-driven sourcing and matching. The platform says over 70,000 users have already created a profile on WorkerHero. Companies such as Telekom, HelloFresh and BayWa are already successfully recruiting via the platform.
Patrick de Wachter, director, corporate development at Mediahuis, said, “WorkerHero is successful because the company focuses on blue-collar jobs. Compared to its competitors, the company finds suitable candidates more quickly. In addition, there is a constant effort to ensure user-friendliness and quality. This has enabled the start-up to achieve impressive growth since its founding. We are pleased to be able to support WorkerHero from now on and want to continue the success together.”
According to WorkerHero, the funding will allow the firm to continue scaling and entering new industries. The latter will be made possible by an upgraded platform version of WorkerHero, which aims to make recruiting and job searching even easier in the future. The revised version offers an improved design and expanded functions, including advanced AI tools.
Richard Fischer, CEO and co-founder of WorkerHero, said, “We want to solve the skills shortage in Europe by helping companies find skilled workers both within their country and internationally. With the support of Mediahuis and our existing investors, we are well positioned to realize our vision.”
