Recruitment agency marketplace TheJobPost has received a further funding award of £250k from the UK's innovation agency Innovate UK.

Working on a crowdsourcing model, TheJobPost’s platform matches employers who have job vacancies with relevant recruitment agencies based on their area of specialisation.

Ken Brotherston, chairman of TheJobPost, revealed the additional funding will be used to scale TheJobPost’s offering “significantly”.

TheJobPost received initial funding of £100k in December 2014 to develop an algorithm to support its filtering model that helps better match employers with recruiters.
