Healthcare HR tech startup Jobizo raises $1.4 million in funding led by Alkemi Growth Capital

Jobizo, a healthcare hiring platform designed to revolutionize the hiring process for healthcare businesses, has raised $1.4 million in pre-series A funding led by Alkemi Growth Capital.

The investment follows the $500,000 seed funding round led by AROA Venture Partners in 2022.

Revolutionizing talent acquisition

Jobizo aims to revolutionize talent acquisition in the Indian healthcare sector through an AI-powered platform that connects employers with skilled professionals.

The startup claims that its online platform has contributed to over 10 million additional patient care hours in India and continues to address hiring challenges by reducing hiring timelines and costs while offering healthcare businesses access to a verified pool of candidates.

By leveraging its expanding investor network and market expertise, it aims to create a welcoming environment for the workforce and tackle skill gap issues.

Purpose of fundraising

Jobizo says the new funds will be used for product enhancement, expansion into six to eight Indian cities, and expansion in the international markets. The startup will hire for key leadership roles across departments like technology, operations, and customer service.

It also hopes to achieve the goal of creating over 100,000 jobs in India and 3,000 jobs abroad within 18 months. As part of its long-term goals, the platform aims to fill over 40 million job hours in the coming years.

“The fund allows us to enhance our platform’s offerings and expand Jobizo’s reach in both domestic and international job markets. We believe it will support us in building the required infrastructure to bridge the skills gap in the global healthcare sector and provide flexible job opportunities to qualified professionals," said Co-founders Naveen and Avishek in a joint statement.
