Stockholm, 6 August 2024: Impactpool, a global leading AI-enabled career platform, announces it has raised $4 million in Series A funding, led by Mediahuis and Fort Knox. With its commitment to diversity and advanced AI matching capabilities, Impactpool will use the new funding to enhance its technology and further its goal of placing one billion professionals with organizations dedicated to meaningful change.

Since its inception in 2015, Impactpool has partnered with major UN organizations, including UNICEF, UNHCR, and UNESCO.

“We fully support Impactpool's mission to bring together top talent to address global challenges, aligning perfectly with Mediahuis' values of creating impact. Impactpool offers an accessible platform for candidates to connect with impact organizations seeking top talent. We greatly appreciate their ability to merge significant impact with robust performance and growth as a company. We look forward to supporting their sustainable journey ahead,” says Patrick De Wachter, Director Corporate Development at Mediahuis.
The funding allows Impactpool to further emphasize diversity and inclusion, providing a sector-specific platform where Impact employers can strategically manage their recruitment processes.
