• Morocco’s Jobzyn secures pre-seed funding from pan-African fund Janngo Capital.
• Startup uses AI to match candidates, assess soft skills, and streamline hiring.
• Investment aims to cut unemployment in Africa, where job creation lags demand.

Jobzyn, a Moroccan startup developing artificial intelligence-based recruitment solutions, has raised pre-seed funding from pan-African investor Janngo Capital. The announcement was made on September 11, 2025, though the investment amount was not disclosed.

The funding will accelerate the rollout of Jobzyn’s AI-powered hiring platform, designed to improve transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in recruitment processes across Africa and the MENA region.

Jobzyn connects companies with job seekers using AI tools to recommend relevant roles, automatically identify suitable profiles, and evaluate soft skills before interviews. It has also built a Digital Career Center solution tailored for universities and higher education institutions.

“With the support of Janngo Capital, we are accelerating our mission to make the job market more accessible, fair, and efficient across the entire continent,” said Simo Zizi, co-founder of Jobzyn.

The investment also seeks to tackle Africa’s high unemployment rate, particularly among youth and women. “Africa currently creates only 3 million jobs per year, while it will need 20 to 30 million annually by 2050 to keep pace with population growth. Women remain especially excluded, representing just 20% of the formal workforce,” said Fatoumata Bâ, founder of Janngo Capital.
