Placed's mission is to match forward-thinking companies with the next generation of talent.
According to Placed, many companies spend a lot of time interviewing the wrong candidates. The founder, Jennifer Johansson, believed that modern companies need modern ways to hire people, which is why she created Placed - a mobile and web app aiming to simplify the hiring process in hospitality, retail, logistics and care.
Employers are able to create a compelling company profile showcasing work culture using videos from employees, testimonials and real team photos that captures the company’s personality and team spirit, while in-app quizzes for candidates bring their skills and personality to life. The platform also offers jobseekers the chance to expand their skills and learn new things about different sectors in order to boost their chances of getting hired.
Since launching in 2017, the Placed App has become a go-to solution for over 300,000 candidates and over 8000 businesses across the UK. Having already seen success working with O2, Lidl and Iceland, its focus is on centralising the recruiting process offered by the app.

The market we're in is flooded with companies doing a variation on the same thing. Standing out is hard and staying ahead can be even harder. Our product is improving all the time and the more it's used, the smarter it gets - as an Account Manager, that's pretty handy!

With a mix of WFH and a brilliant new office space in a key London location, we have a great balance! Everyone gets involved in everything we do and despite individual roles, everyone is super helpful across the different functions. Lets not forget the quarterly socials, after work drinkies and celebrating everyone's key milestones and birthdays!
