Start
In January 2012, the job board opened an office in Barcelona and a second in London. A year and a half later, the company received funding of 3.3 million USD (€2.5 million), enabling further international expansion.

In July 2014, Jobandtalent raised $14 million (€10.2 million) in a new funding round, the largest Series A funding round in Spain to date. Investors include Qualitas Equity Partners, Kibo Ventures and Fundación José Manuel Entrecanales, as well as business angel Pelayo Cortina Koplowiz, Nicolás Luca de Tena and Alfonso Villanueva. In the same month, Félix Ruiz, co-founder of Tuenti, was appointed president of jobandtalent. He had started his relationship with the company in 2012 as an investor.

In May 2015, jobandtalent announced the closing of a €23 million Series A funding round, an extension of investments made the previous year. This round was led by Spanish entrepreneur Pelayo Cortina Koplowitz, along with the previous year's investor firms.

In June 2016, Jobandtalent announced the closing of a new €38 million Series B investment round led by investment fund Atómico, together with FJ Labs and investors Adejemi Ajao and Steve Goodman. Atomico is an international fund launched by Skype founder Niklas Zennström

Change in business model
After a "job board" business model, Jobandtalent changed to a transactional business model in 2016 and became a temporary employment agency. After a transition period of several months, during which the company had to make profound changes to make the change in model, Jobandtalent has found a growth path that has led to a multiplication of annual turnover from €5 million to.

Operations
Using a self-developed algorithm, Jobandtalent matches applicants with job offers and companies with applicants, comparing the keywords of providers and candidates. The application also offers job search services, job suggestions, job postings for companies, contract management for small and medium-sized businesses, and tips for interviews, writing a CV, etc.
