In the era of growing startups, healthcare recruitment platform Jobizo has made headlines for acquiring USD 1.4 million in pre-series funding from Alkemi Growth Capital. The aim is to expand operations both within India and internationally.
What Does Jobizo Do
Jobizo runs an AI-driven platform that bridges the gap between healthcare professionals and recruiters. It helps hospitals and healthcare providers connect with verified, skilled workers, cutting down hiring and operational costs.
Jobizo’s Growth So Far
The startup has helped tackle key issues in the healthcare sector, like high recruitment costs, lengthy hiring processes, and staff shortages. Back in 2022, it received USD 500,000 in seed funding from AROA Ventures, which gave a major boost to its operations.
Since then, Jobizo has recorded 500% growth, generating over 20,000 healthcare jobs across India and abroad, and contributing over 10 million additional hours to patient care services across India.
What Jobizo Plans With New Funding
With the new funds, the company plans to expand into at least six to eight Indian cities, enhance its tech offerings, and enter international markets. Over the next 18 months, it aims to create over 100,000 healthcare jobs in India and 3,000 overseas, along with adding another 10 million job hours.
To support this scale, Jobizo will be hiring for leadership roles across technology, operations, and customer service.
In a joint statement, co-founders Naveen Trehan and Avishek Agarwal said:
The fund allows us to enhance our platform’s offerings and expand Jobizo’s reach in both domestic and international job markets. 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.Naveen Trehan and Avishek Agarwal, Jobizo Founders
Why It Stands Out
The platform aims to fix long-standing gaps in healthcare hiring, especially delays, skill mismatches, and verification challenges. By offering a pool of qualified professionals, it reduces both the time and cost of hiring.
Its AI-powered system also helps healthcare workers access flexible job opportunities, while giving employers a faster way to meet urgent staffing needs.
What’s Next
Jobizo is now focused on scaling its team and operations, with an eye on global markets and deeper tech integration.
