  CornerJob is a mobile recruitment platform that connects employers and jobseekers for skilled and hourly roles across Italy, France, Spain and Mexico. Launched in October 2015 by David Rodriguez, Miguel Vicente, Gerard Olivé and Mauro Maltagliati, the company operates offices in Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Madrid and Mexico City. Its app has reached 8 million downloads and more than 200,000 companies use the platform to publish job ads. Clients span industries including HoReCa, tourism, retail, construction, public sector, SMEs and blue‑chip companies such as Adecco, Eataly, Geox, Amnesty International, Generali, Manpower and McDonald’s. CornerJob intends to use the new funding to expand its leadership in digital recruitment across its operating countries. To date the company has raised over $57m, including a $19m funding announced in May 2017. CornerJob operates a lightweight mobile app for location-based job advertising, shortlisting and chat aimed at low-skill, high-turnover recruitment. It is building employer-facing SaaS tools to speed hiring and monetize via successful hires, and is investing in machine learning and productivity features such as 'flash questions', reviews/ratings and transactional services developed with Randstad. The company says it focuses on improving candidate experience while adding transparency on candidate and company behavior. CornerJob is active in France, Italy, Spain and Mexico and is eyeing expansion into an unnamed European market and the US. It reports 700k shortlistings per month (growing at an average compound monthly rate of 30%), 150,000 registered companies, 74% repeat listers monthly, and job listers growing 10% month-over-month. The new funding will be used for product development, reinforcing strategic markets and geographic expansion. CornerJob operates an Android and iOS jobs marketplace app that lets users create a profile, search and apply for full-time, part-time and student jobs, and chat with companies to clarify their profile. The app is active in Spain, France, UK and Mexico. The company was co-founded by Miguel Vicente, Gerard Olivé, David Rodriguez and Mauro Maltagliati. CornerJob said it will use the new funding to continue expanding operations, including growth in Mexico. The raise includes a media-for-equity component aimed specifically at expansion in Mexico. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article. Cornerjob is a mobile application that helps non-executive workers find jobs across sectors such as hospitality, retail, industry, construction and sales. The app was created about a year earlier by Miguel Vicente, Gerard Olivé, Mauro Maltagliati and David Rodríguez within Antai Venture Builder. It leads in Italy and France and is expanding into Spain and Mexico. Cornerjob reports growth of roughly half a million downloads per month and about 20,000 new job offers appearing in the app. The company employed around 70 people and planned to invest the new funds in technology to become a one-stop recruiting solution for non-executive profiles and to strengthen its positions in core markets.
