Casablanca-based recruitment platform Jobzyn has secured investment from Janngo Capital to scale its artificial intelligence-driven solutions across Africa and the wider MENA region. The deal underscores growing investor interest in digital platforms that address pressing challenges in employment access, skills matching, and workplace transparency. By leveraging AI, Jobzyn aims to redefine how employers and candidates interact in a rapidly evolving labor market.
A New Model for Recruitment
Jobzyn was founded to respond to the inefficiencies of traditional hiring processes, where recruiters often face a flood of underqualified applications. The platform uses AI to filter candidates, match profiles to job descriptions, and evaluate soft skills before interviews take place. This process reduces time-to-hire and increases the likelihood of successful placements for both companies and job seekers.
Transparency as a Differentiator
In addition to automation, Jobzyn emphasizes transparency in the job search journey. Candidates can view video testimonials from employees, management’s strategic outlook, office imagery, and even salary ranges before applying. These features enable job seekers to make informed decisions, aligning personal expectations with workplace realities.
Janngo Capital’s Strategic Commitment
Janngo Capital’s investment reflects its broader mission of financing ventures that promote accessibility and inclusion in the job market. The firm focuses particularly on opportunities for youth and women, demographics that remain underrepresented in formal employment. By supporting Jobzyn, Janngo is betting on technology as a catalyst for more equitable and efficient labor markets.
Voices from the Leaders
“Radical transparency and technology can profoundly reshape how companies and talent connect,” said Simo Zizi, CEO and Co-founder of Jobzyn. He noted that the funding will accelerate the company’s mission to create a fairer and more accessible job market across the continent. Fatoumata Bâ, Founder and Executive Chair of Janngo Capital, highlighted that Africa creates only three million jobs annually, far short of the 20 to 30 million needed by 2050, making platforms like Jobzyn crucial for economic inclusion.
Strong Market Traction
Jobzyn’s client base already includes multinational firms such as Deloitte, PwC, and Glovo, alongside Moroccan leaders like Maroc Telecom, Intelcia, Inwi, and TGCC. The adoption by both global and local employers highlights the platform’s credibility and scalability. Its dual focus on advanced technology and employer branding has positioned it as a trusted partner in the recruitment landscape.
Supporting Young Graduates
Beyond corporate recruitment, Jobzyn has introduced a white-label digital Career Centre solution for higher education institutions. The tool aggregates partner job opportunities for students while tracking indicators such as employment rates and graduate salaries. Institutions including INSEA, ESI, HEM, and HEC Rabat have already adopted the solution, helping bridge the gap between academic training and labor market integration.
Recognition and Awards
Jobzyn’s impact has not gone unnoticed. In December 2024, it received the EBRD Star Venture Award, an accolade recognizing its innovation and potential for regional expansion. This distinction adds momentum to its mission of addressing youth unemployment and advancing digital recruitment in MENA.
About Janngo Capital
Janngo Capital builds and funds pan-African digital champions that combine profitability with social impact. The firm manages Africa’s largest gender-focused tech fund, investing up to €5 million in startups that deliver innovative solutions to systemic challenges. With offices in Abidjan, Paris, and Mauritius, Janngo has backed companies such as Sabi and Expensya, maintaining a portfolio where 56% of businesses are women-led and 67% are based in Francophone Africa.
The partnership between Jobzyn and Janngo Capital highlights the growing role of AI and transparency in shaping Africa’s future labor markets. With mounting demographic pressures and persistent youth unemployment, scalable digital solutions like Jobzyn are becoming essential to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity. As both organizations double down on inclusion and innovation, their collaboration sets the stage for meaningful progress in employment access across the continent.
