The investment round also saw participation from Future of Work Group AG, which includes market players like x28 AG and jobchannel ag. Additionally, a dozen Swiss HR professionals contributed to the funding. Work-ID, founded in 2025, develops a digital skills passport for individuals. This passport grows throughout a working life, making abilities visible and supporting talent acquisition.
Renato Profico, former CEO of JobCloud and Doodle, recently joined Work-ID as CEO. He brings 20 years of experience in digital recruiting and SaaS. Skills-Manager is available on a freemium model, requiring no system integration. Work-ID also integrates insights from the Innosuisse flagship project "Swiss Circular Economy for Skills and Competences." This initiative further strengthens Work-ID's approach to skills management.
