inploi was founded in 2016 out of its founders’ shared frustration with the sub-par experience of using legacy HR tech to find and apply for job opportunities. Having transitioned from a labour marketplace to a SaaS platform, the company now employs a unique Software with a Service approach to help hirers source and recruit staff while transforming the candidate’s experience – making it as intuitive and frictionless as possible.
The company counts a number of high-profile enterprises amongst its customers, including wagamama, Haven, Butlin’s, and FTSE-listed Compass Group UK & Ireland. They are recently joined by Hong Kong HQ’d A.S. Watson Group, the world’s largest international health & beauty retailer.
Recruitment industry veterans turned angels Chris Nelson and Julia Ross participated in the round, along with Joshua Nott of Schmidt Futures, Ziyaad Aboobaker, a partner at 10x Value Partners, and a number of others.
inploi transitioned from a marketplace into an enterprise SaaS-model coming out of the pandemic, during which it made access to its platform free at a time when front line workers were being recognised as ‘essential’ to the economy, and harder to find.

Aboobaker stated: “The inploi team exhibited amazing agility in pivoting their model to providing software as a service, and is now partnered with a growing number of major blue-chip brands. inploi’s solution is perfectly positioned to address one of the biggest challenges facing companies today – attracting the people they need to operate effectively in an historically tight labour market – bringing the latest technology to an outdated market ripe for innovation. I am excited to have invested again to support them on their scaling journey.”
