Highland Europe, Alven et al. invest £45m in JobTeaser
A consortium of backers has invested £45m in Paris-based JobTeaser, a recruitment and career guidance specialist for students and graduates.
The funding round was led by Highland Europe and backed by existing investors Alven, Idinvest Partners, Seventure Partners and Korelya Capital.
As well as strengthening JobTeaser's position within the UK recruitment market, the funding will also be used to both accelerate the company's R&D division and increase its partnerships with universities, career guidance experts and recruiters.
