Global work AI raises $2.4M follow-on round to scale Its AI job-search platform
Global Work AI, the AI-native job-search platform focused exclusively on job seekers, has secured a $2.4 million follow-on investment from existing backers Pre-Seed to Succeed, Yellow Rocks, Smart Partnership Capital, AltaIR Capital, and TMT Investments. The new round brings the company’s total funding to $3.7 million.
The raise follows a period of rapid growth: Global Work AI has scaled 13x over the last 10 months as job seekers increasingly turn to AI tools to navigate a tough job market.
The company will use the new capital to deepen its core AI feature set, including search relevance, personalised job recommendations, AI-generated CVs and cover letters, CV tailoring, Auto-Apply, and its Auto-Fill browser plugin. Global Work AI will also launch Mia AI, its new AI Career Assistant.
Designed as a J.A.R.V.I.S-style companion for the modern worker, Mia AI will support users across the full career lifecycle: mapping long-term career paths, resolving workplace challenges, analysing job-market dynamics, guiding upskilling decisions, preparing for salary negotiations, providing emotional support throughout and after the job-search process, and much more.
“We’ve backed the team since day one because they understand this space better than anyone,” said Sergei Bogdanov, Managing Partner at Yellow Rocks. “They are building infrastructure for how white-collar workers will navigate their careers going forward.”
“Our mission is simple: help more people get hired faster in a brutal job market.” said Alex Chepovoi, CEO and co-founder of Global Work AI. “Job search hasn’t changed in 20 years. By focusing on the candidate, we turn the traditional recruiter-focused model upside down.”
Global Work AI is the third HR-tech product from founders Alex Chepovoi and Alex Dyadischev. The company previously raised a $1.25 million pre-seed round in December 2024, and a $120k angel round in February 2024.
