<p>&#8220;We know from every restaurant owner that we talk to that hiring is their number one challenge, and with millions of people searching for jobs, we can make a real impact,&#8221; said Ware Sykes, CEO of Seasoned. &#8220;This funding will help us expand to new markets, further develop our products, and ultimately get more people employed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Restaurants around the country consistently identify hiring as the biggest obstacle to growth, and Seasoned helps managers hire quickly and efficiently, while also connecting job-seekers with open hourly roles, ultimately accelerating economic opportunity.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re in a unique situation; restaurants cannot hire fast enough, but millions of people are still out of work. In Seasoned, we see a huge opportunity to address that challenge at a time when the industry needs it. We&#8217;re looking forward to an exciting year of growth,&#8221; said <span class="xn-person">Bart Swanson</span> from Horizons Ventures.</p>
