TradeTalent, an AI-powered Web3 recruitment platform, today announced it has raised $8 million in a funding round. The round was co-led by Nasdaq-listed Allied Gaming & Entertainment (NASDAQ: AGAE) and technology engineering firm Hicop Engineering Pte. Ltd.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate the iteration of its AI-powered skill verification technology, expand its global network of enterprises and talent, and further integrate and refine the platform’s trustless infrastructure.
TradeTalent is committed to building a global, trusted talent network that bridges the Web2 and Web3 worlds. At its core, the platform leverages a proprietary AI recruitment protocol and smart contracts to deliver on-chain AI interviews and skill certification services.
