Yahoo Autos Medwing, a recruitment marketplace for Europe's healthcare workforce, raises $47M
Medwing, a European startup building a recruitment marketplace for healthcare workers, has raised €44 million ($47 million) in a Series C round of funding.
Founded out of Berlin in 2017, Medwing targets the healthcare industry in Germany and the U.K. with a platform designed to match hospitals and clinics with nurses and elderly caregivers, though it also caters to pharmacists, midwives, doctors and similar professionals.
The platform is currently available in Germany and the U.K., where it claims some 5,500 registered medical employers and 500,000 healthcare professionals, who can access an entirely digital workflow spanning job search, contracts, signatures and timesheets.
"The current permanent recruiting and temporary staffing market in healthcare is broken and still very manual and analogue," Medwing founder and CEO Johannes Roggendorf explained to TechCrunch. "Bringing this to a digital marketplace will not only save costs for the healthcare system overall but also increase the service levels for healthcare workers and hospitals."
