One such platform, the Swedish automated social recruitment marketing solution, has raised €10 million in a Series A funding round from London-based Octopus Ventures. It enables talent and recruitment leaders to attract talent at scale and speed. Additionally, previous investors Brightly Ventures and Spintop Ventures took part. The money will be used to advance and scale Adway’s platform, expand the product line, and support further global market expansion.
“Adway’s talent acquisition platform combines best-in-class digital advertising capabilities with a deep understanding of recruitment and talent acquisition,” said Adam Said, Investment Manager at Octopus Ventures. We were very impressed by Adway’s expertise in both digital advertising and HR-Tech, and we have no doubt that the company will dominate its sector thanks to the team’s drive and wisdom.
“Our clients report a rise in diverse and pertinent applications, and they are able to create long-lasting talent pipelines that give them the ability to keep telling compelling stories about their employer brands. With this investment, we can strengthen our automated processes and quicken the creation of our range of products, including intelligence and data-driven insights, according to Adrian McDonald, CEO of Adway.
