InfraVia Capital Partners has led a €88m series-C round for Spain-based temporary staffing agency JobAndTalent.
Existing investors Atomico, Seek, DN Capital and Kibo Ventures also participated in the round.
JobAndTalent aims to use the fresh funding to expand its platform to existing markets and to support its growth.
The company now reports revenues of €500m and generates positive EBITDA, JobAndTalent CEO Juan Urdiales from TechCrunch.
Spanish publication La Informacion reported in November 2020 that JobAndTalent was in discussions for a capital raise of around €60m, which would value the company at approximately €500m.
InfraVia has invested €30m in the round and is deploying equity via its Growth Tech Fund, which held a first close in May 2020 on €270m, as reported by Unquote. The fund subsequently held a second close in October 2020 on €400m; the vehicle is aiming for a final close on around €500m, which could be met by the end of H1, a source close to the situation told Unquote.
JobAndTalent is the fund's first investment since its first close, the GP said in a statement. The fund invests equity tickets of €10-50m and focuses on B2B technology companies with an established business model and commercial momentum.
