Workfully is a Barcelona-based HR-tech company running a B2B marketplace that connects companies directly with a vetted network of 1,000+ independent specialist recruiters across 30+ European markets, positioning itself as a replacement for traditional recruiting agencies. Its platform layers AI agents on top of recruiter relationships to handle matching, pipeline transparency and performance tracking, and it lets recruiters monetise their own talent communities creator-style. It raised an oversubscribed €4M+ seed round in September 2025 led by Shilling VC (bringing total funding to over €5M) to expand into Ireland, Germany, Benelux and the Nordics; clients cited include TravelPerk, FreeNow, Glovo, Inditex, Semrush, Delivery Hero, Lamborghini and BlackBerry.
