"Short-term Job Matching Enhancement" Nider, Secures 8 Billion Bridge Investment

[Financial News] Real-time short-term job matching service company Nider announced on the 27th that it has secured a total of 8 billion won in bridge investment. This investment includes participation from Japan's No.1 spot work platform Taimi, Koropranext Korea, SK Securities, and Lotte Ventures.
Nider's short-term job platform 'Geupgu' connects users to desired tasks immediately without resumes or interviews, supporting everything from work attendance verification to payroll settlement in a one-stop manner. It is evaluated to have enhanced convenience for both job seekers and businesses by providing core functions such as same-day wage payment guarantee. Currently, Nider is expanding its matching infrastructure across logistics, distribution, and dining sectors in collaboration with major convenience store companies, Coupang, IKEA Korea, and Glow Seoul.
Nider plans to strengthen specialized services focusing on industries with high short-term workforce demand, such as logistics centers, distribution, sales, and F&B, through this investment. In particular, it aims to provide cost-saving effects in field operations by improving the efficiency of short-term workforce deployment and commute monitoring at large logistics hubs. Additionally, by advancing algorithms, it seeks to differentiate by enhancing rapid workforce acquisition solutions for companies and job search functions that match personal schedules and conditions for workers.
Shin Hyun-sik, CEO of Nider, said, "Even amidst economic uncertainty, the pool of talent preferring selective work forms is increasing, and platform demand is surging," adding, "Based on over 10 years of accumulated know-how in the short-term labor market, we aim to leap forward as the leading short-term job platform in Korea."
Taimi's CEO Ogawa Ryo stated, "In Korea, where low birth rates are intensifying, we will continue efforts to solve workforce shortages and expand work opportunities in collaboration with Nider."
