Fronted lands $1M to modernise global hiring using AI

Nordic startup Fronted has secured $1 million in pre-seed funding to modernize global hiring practices using an AI-powered platform. The company aims to simplify international team management, a critical need for scaling businesses seeking a global footprint. This funding round, led by Antler and Sondo Capital, will help Fronted scale its operations and enhance its platform. Fronted offers a unified platform that integrates various aspects of international hiring, including sourcing, interviewing, onboarding, payroll, and compliance. The AI-driven platform streamlines these processes, providing an end-to-end solution for companies. With a 230% increase in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) since July 2023, Fronted plans to use the investment to bolster its product and engineering teams, accelerating platform development. The platform directly addresses the complexities of cross-border hiring, which often pose significant challenges for companies. By automating and streamlining various stages of the hiring process, Fronted allows businesses to reduce costs and time associated with international recruitment. This will likely benefit companies looking to expand their global presence, particularly within the tech sector. Fronted was founded by experienced operators in global hiring and fintech. With the new funding, the startup is well-positioned to further innovate in the space, offering a streamlined solution to the traditionally complex process of hiring international teams.
