The Getwork team will work alongside the 100-person strong Adzuna business, accelerating Adzuna’s growth in North America, a company statement said.

Getwork connects jobseekers with job openings at North American companies, indexing millions of verified jobs daily from tens of thousands of employer career sites, including over 50 Fortune 100 companies. Spun out of Minneapolis-based job market data company LinkUp a year ago, the business has been connecting jobseekers with employers for over 20 years.

Adzuna is headquartered in London, Indianapolis in the US and Sydney, Australia, qualifying and matching the right candidates to roles.

Getwork and Adzuna will continue to operate as independent brands with their own established communities of jobseekers. Together, they will index job ads directly from over 50,000 employer websites including FedEx, Home Depot, Amazon and Walmart, while receiving tens of millions of jobseeker visits every month.

It follows Adzuna’s launch into four new countries, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain and Mexico, with the job search engine now operating across 20 markets globally.
