Workhound, a job search engine that claims to be the largest job site in the UK, has secured EUR 600,000 (USD 870,000) for their initial round of funding.
The round was led by Incisive Media, a B2B information provider with extensive commitments to the recruitment space.
Workhound was launched in late 2007 and currently lists about 900,000 job postings.
According to their web site, the core Workhound product is based on the full integration of vertical search with open platforms that self-optimize based upon user demands. This structure allows for the development of custom solutions that provide search data based on format, place, and specifications of its users.
“Employment search has moved from print to online, and we have quickly established our site as the best online job search tool in Britain,” said Workhound CEO Howard Lee. “The principal reason for our growth is simple: relevancy. We post the most jobs, but our highly targeted search algorithms also ensure that job seekers find opportunities for which they are well-suited. Furthermore, these search results can be easily delivered by email alert, twitter, mobile, or RSS feed.”
