Jobilla offers a candidate-focused recruitment platform and recruitment marketing services designed to let companies recruit in any language and market. Its screening process relies on questionnaires that help candidates see if they fit a role, rather than simply urging them to apply. The company has launched a set of AI-powered recruitment tools that automate ads, landing page content, email drafts and candidate screening to cut campaign setup and running time by at least half. A tested localization function produces native-level content in most languages to help customers attract talent in new markets. Jobilla says it has grown its business by more than 120% annually and runs over 8,000 recruitment campaigns yearly across more than 50 countries. The company operates in the Nordics, Benelux and DACH regions and is led by CEO Henri Nordström. Jobilla builds candidate-driven recruiting funnels and candidate marketing tactics to help organisations shift from organisation-driven to candidate-driven hiring. The company says it is growing exponentially in every market where its solution is available. Clients named in the article include Pfizer, Arkansas Surgical Hospital and the German Red Cross. Jobilla raised fresh capital to accelerate expansion and develop partnerships with key players in new markets. The company plans to use the €8.25M to expand operations, especially in the German and U.S. markets, and to further develop its recruiting solution. Quotes from CEO and co-founder Henri Nordström and Eetu Blomqvist of Juuri Partners emphasize fixing broken recruitment processes and scaling globally. Jobilla builds an AI-driven candidate filtering platform and uses digital marketing methods to reach passive candidates who are not actively job-seeking. The company says its tool helps clients solve difficult recruitment needs beyond traditional applicant-tracking systems. Reported clients include RE/MAX, the German Red Cross, and Securitas. Jobilla has seen 106% growth in sales over the past 12 months. The startup highlights that up to 85% of suitable candidates may be unaware of new opportunities while 52% would be open to switching if presented with the right role. It plans to use new funding to further develop its product and expand into Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and to scale operations in the U.S.
