Hiring platform hackajob wins investment for US expansion

Full stack technical hiring platform hackajob has announced a $25m (£19.86m) Series B funding round led by Boston-based growth equity firm, Volition Capital, with participation from existing investors AXA Venture Partners and Foresight.

The company said the round enables hackajob’s plans to accelerate its expansion in the US. 

‘Full stack’ refers to an end-to-end, or front-end and back-end, system.

The investment comes shortly after hackajob’s entry to the US market. Since its US launch, hackajob said US-based candidates now represent 25% of tech talent on their platform, making the region its primary growth market.

hackajob allows enterprises to scale their permanent technology teams. Sainsbury’s is one of hackajob’s biggest clients. Over the past few years, the retailer has seen its tech function grow to over 1,400 colleagues.

As part of today’s announcement, hackajob is also releasing a new brand and visual identity created in partnership with agency Droga5.
