Twitter’s recruitment tech provider lands in Shoreditch

The recruitment company behind some of the world’s fastest-growing companies, Jobvite, has announced that it has opened a UK base of operations in Shoreditch.

Jobvite, which has worked with DataSift, Gamesys and Twitter, raised $25m from a successful round of Series D funding at the end of last year, led by growth equity firm Catalyst Investors.

Jobvite’s new UK offices have been established at Central Working in Shoreditch—a part of the Mayor’s Office Touchdown partnership programme—at the heart of London’s up and coming tech hub.

David Lahey, VP International at Jobvite said: “The opening of a UK office is a key milestone for Jobvite,

“The UK and wider European markets are at an exciting stage of development. In the UK for example, the economy is strong and skilled employees are in high demand, but in short supply.

“The Jobvite team looks forward to helping companies in Western Europe find the talent needed to fuel their growth and achieve their business objectives. We’re confident our existing and future clients will benefit from our extended local presence.”

Jobvite initially gained massive market share in the heart of Silicon Valley with companies like Coppola Wines, GameFly, Logitech and Square. Globally, and currently fuels the growth of thousands of companies, including Twitter and SEGA.

Alex Shepherd, Recruitment Manager at Gamesys, commented: “As an online gaming company, we work in an incredibly competitive market. Using Jobvite has enabled us to quickly attract the best talent, time and time again.

“We believe that we, and many other companies in the UK, will benefit immensely from Jobvite’s expansion into this market. With so many sectors facing a skills shortage it is becoming increasingly important to meet the talent where they’re active—on social channels and mobile devices. Jobvite can help you do this effortlessly.”
