Mediahuis Ventures invests in Munich-based HR tech startup WorkerHero

Mediahuis Ventures has invested in WorkerHero , a Munich-based HR tech startup that has raised €4 million in a Series A funding round led by Mediahuis. Existing investors including 10x Founders and Bonsai Partners also participated in the round.

WorkerHero was founded in 2021 by Richard Fischer, Steven Miller, Michael König and Emanuel Wernitz to address the shortage of skilled workers. Using AI-driven sourcing and matching, the platform connects companies with qualified candidates.

The focus is on comprehensive pre-qualification and improving the availability of skilled workers, resulting in higher success rates. More than 70,000 users have already created a profile on WorkerHero. Companies such as Telekom, HelloFresh and BayWa successfully recruit via the platform.

Patrick de Wachter, Director Corporate Development, Mediahui: “WorkerHero’s excellent performance demonstrates the effectiveness of targeting well-defined sectors for workers, enabling them to deliver better-suited candidates much faster than broader market players. WorkerHero’s unwavering commitment to user experience and quality delivery has led to impressive growth since inception. We are excited to support WorkerHero in its future growth and look forward to their continued success.”

The completed funding round enables WorkerHero to scale further and enter new sectors. This is made possible by upgrading to a new version of the platform that further simplifies recruiting candidates and searching for jobs for users. The updated version offers an improved design and enhanced features, including advanced AI tools. In addition, WorkerHero wants to focus on international recruitment to support companies in recruiting qualified employees from abroad.

Richard Fischer, CEO and co-founder, WorkerHero: “ We want to solve the labor shortage in Europe by helping companies find skilled workers, both within the specific country and from abroad. With the support of Mediahuis and our existing investors, we are well positioned to realize our vision .”
