Jobizo, an AI-powered healthcare hiring platform, has raised $1.4 million in pre-series A funding led by Alkemi Growth Capital. The investment follows a $500,000 seed round led by AROA Venture Partners in 2022.
Co-founded by Naveen Trehan and Avishek Agarwal, Jobizo aims to transform talent acquisition in the Indian healthcare sector by connecting employers with skilled professionals through its digital platform. The company claims to have contributed to over 10 million additional patient care hours in India since its inception.
“The fund allows us to enhance our platform’s offerings and expand Jobizo’s reach in both domestic and international job markets,” said Trehan and Agarwal in a joint statement. “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.”
The fresh capital will be directed toward product enhancement and geographical expansion into six to eight additional Indian cities, as well as international markets. Jobizo also plans to strengthen its team by hiring for key leadership positions across technology, operations, and customer service departments.
With ambitious growth targets, the healthcare HRtech firm aims to create over 100,000 jobs in India and 3,000 jobs abroad within the next 18 months. The platform’s long-term goal includes filling over 40 million job hours in the coming years.
Since its seed funding round, Jobizo claims to have experienced more than 500% growth, facilitated over 20,000 jobs both domestically and internationally, and helped fill over 10 million job hours. The platform addresses hiring challenges by reducing timelines and costs while providing healthcare businesses access to a verified talent pool.
By leveraging its expanding investor network and market expertise, Jobizo seeks to create a welcoming environment for healthcare professionals while addressing critical skill gap issues in the sector.
