Career platform for skilled blue-collar technical workers MoreLess
PowerUs is a digital career platform headquartered in Berlin, Germany, specifically designed for skilled blue-collar workers in technical trades. Founded in 2019 by Konrad Geiger and Julian Lindinger, the company aims to address the talent shortage in sectors crucial for the energy transition by connecting qualified professionals with companies.
The platform, formerly known as Electry, serves as a vertical marketplace for skilled workers such as electricians, plant mechanics, and refrigeration technicians. For job seekers, PowerUs offers a free service to create an online profile, connect with a community of peers, access free educational courses, and find jobs with potentially higher salaries. The platform provides transparency on salaries, career opportunities, and options for further training. Users can receive job offers directly to their smartphones and get assistance from a personal advisor to find a suitable position. For companies, PowerUs is a tool to recruit qualified specialists by publishing job advertisements and actively searching for candidates. The business model involves companies paying to post vacancies and connect with skilled workers on the platform.
Since its inception, PowerUs has seen significant growth, attracting over 80,000 skilled workers and partnering with more than 850 businesses by late 2023. The company has successfully raised a total of $40.2 million through multiple funding rounds. A major milestone was the Series B financing round in September 2023, where the company secured €24 million ($25.7 million). This funding round was led by investors including Eurazeo, General Catalyst, Headline, and HV Capital, with participation from notable angel investors. The fresh capital is intended to enhance the user experience, develop new features, and expand the team to make the skilled trades more attractive.
