Hunt Club, a Chicago-based talent platform that utilizes referrals, announced a $40 million series B funding round co-led by WestCap and Sator Grove. The investment follows Hunt Club’s $10 million series A financing in October 2021 and will fuel the company’s national expansion and technology platform enhancements.
“We’re reimagining the entire talent process. Top talent leaders are not only hard to find but also hard to reach, and traditional recruiting firms aren’t equipped to innovate for their customers,” said Nick Cromydas, co-founder and CEO of Hunt Club. “Our technology is bridging that gap, introducing a personalized approach to helping companies change how they approach talent acquisition.”
Hunt Club’s revenue grew by 156% year over year in 2021 and placed over 1,000 leaders in top tech jobs across multiple sectors.
The company also announced that Brian Reinken, partner at WestCap, has joined its board. As one of the founders of Egon Zehnder in the US, Reinken’s experience partnering with founders, CEOs and boards provides Hunt Club a perspective on connecting its network with fast-growing companies and investment firms to place world-class talent.
