Problem
Companies rely on traditional recruitment agencies, which add high margins and limited transparency, resulting in elevated hiring costs and fragmented access to specialist recruiters.
Solution
Jobba is a marketplace that connects hiring managers directly with a global network of freelance headhunters. Employers post job requirements, set a flexible fee (5‑50% of the candidate’s salary), and invite recruiters to submit vetted candidate profiles. Recruiters retain 80% of the fee, incentivizing them to source high‑quality talent. The platform centralises spend, data, and recruiter performance, providing real‑time collaboration tools and compliance‑checked candidate information while eliminating agency intermediaries. This model reduces hiring spend by up to 80% and enables companies to build specialist hiring teams in any region on demand.
