TROY – JobApp Network, a subscription-based, automated phone and web-based hourly recruiting solution, has landed $4 million in equity funding from Vineyard Capital Group and its affiliated investors, the largest single investment made in a Michigan-based company this year.

Richard Helppie, Managing Director of Vineyard Capital Group, will serve as Chairman of the board of directors.

After extensive analysis of the hourly talent acquisition industry, we concluded that the JobApp Network solution is the most effective in improving the hiring process and reducing turnover in the hourly workforce.? Helppie saud.

With the $4 million in funding, JobApp Network will significantly accelerate its marketing and sales efforts for its proprietary, subscription-based recruiting solution for employers with hourly workforces in high turnover, sectors such as retail, restaurants, transportation, entertainment and hospitality.

?We are extremely pleased that Vineyard Capital Group has provided the capital and strong financial backing to grow and better serve our rapidly expanding customer list,? said JobApp CEO Fred Nussbaum. ?They have given us the financial ability and guidance to significantly accelerate our growth.?
