Adzuna aggregates job listings from thousands of sources to provide a unified job search experience and data-driven tools for job seekers. Founded by the team behind Gumtree, Zoopla and Qype, it launched in the U.K. in 2011 and has expanded to 16 countries. The company highlights strong markets in the U.K., U.S., Germany, Netherlands, France and Brazil and says it is growing quickly in several others, notably the U.S. Across its 16 sites Adzuna reports 10 million monthly visitors and 7 million registered users, with "millions" of CVs uploaded. It currently aggregates listings from 5,000 sources and offers tools such as ValueMyCV and machine‑learning matching. Adzuna monetizes via CPC promotions for advertisers, referrals to jobs, and labor market data sales, and disclosed more than £1 million in monthly revenue as of the article. Adzuna operates a job search engine that brings together vacancies in one place and has developed ValueMyCV to help jobseekers understand their market value. The site lists over 1 million UK vacancies. Launched in July 2011 by Doug Monro, the company is based in London. It is backed by venture capital firms Index Ventures, The Accelerator Group and Passion Capital. Adzuna intends to use recent funding to grow internationally and invest in its technology. The company has combined consumer-facing search with tools aimed at improving matches between candidates and employers. Adzuna indexes job vacancies and classified ads across the web to power a search engine and provide labour-market data. The company attracts about 2 million monthly unique visitors and indexes over 100 million classified ads; it processes roughly 500,000 U.K. job ads daily, about half of which lack salary information. Adzuna has built a social layer (Adzuna Connect) for Facebook and LinkedIn sign-ins and recently launched Jobsworth, a neural-network-based system developed with the data science community (via a Kaggle competition) to predict missing salaries. The startup says Jobsworth is within 10% accuracy the vast majority of the time and is continually improving. Since launch it has expanded jobs search to six countries, including Germany, Australia, South Africa, Canada and Brazil, and reports revenue growing at 50% per quarter. Management plans to use new capital to fuel international expansion and invest in social job search, data and mobile. Adzuna collates classified job ads in real time from hundreds of sites, totaling about 500,000 vacancies, and adds a social layer called Adzuna Connect to link users to jobs where they have first- or second-degree connections on LinkedIn or Facebook. The product also pulls contextual data about roles, including average salary data, employee reviews, interview questions and “CEO Approval ratings.” Launched in July 2011 and initially starting in the UK, the company aims to be a global search engine for job listings. The founders, Andrew Hunter and Doug Monro, previously worked at Gumtree, Qype and Zoopla. The startup plans to use funding to scale the service and expand into other verticals and international markets. Financially, Adzuna has now raised a total of £800,000. Adzuna operates a search engine that pulls job ads in real time from major job boards as well as sources like Crunchboard and LinkedIn, aggregating classifieds that are otherwise fragmented across providers. Its core product includes an "Adzuna Connect" feature that links users' LinkedIn or Facebook accounts to show contacts and direct links to current vacancies at contacts' companies, with built-in messaging links. The company targets a UK market it estimates at roughly 300,000 live vacancies representing about £7 billion in salaries. Adzuna launched with founders Andrew Hunter (formerly VP Marketing & UK GM of Qype) and Doug Monro (formerly COO of Zoopla); the pair previously met at Gumtree in 2005. The site is UK-focused, hosted on a .co.uk domain (Adzuna.com maps to the UK site). Adzuna has so far raised seed funding to support its market entry and product rollout.
