LatamList – Torre, a corporate networking platform, acquired Travail, a Colombian job search app.
Torre is a networking platform that helps employees find work and employers find suitable candidates in an easy and personal manner. The platform acquired the Travail app to boost its presence and service offering in the Colombian market.
Alexander Torrenegra, founder of Torre, first discovered Travail when they won a Startup Competition which Torrenegra was judging.
“Their idea was really interesting. I was impressed with the team and what the app was doing: they were solving a serious problem in Colombia – that of how companies can easily find talent,” said Torrenegra.
With the acquisition, Torre will expand operations in Colombia leveraging Travail’s technology and platform, specifically for local work placements which Travail focuses on.
“We hope to rapidly replace outdated local platforms that use slow technology with much better solutions for both companies and candidates,” said Torrenegra.
Torre currently serves 1.5 million users across 180 countries worldwide.
