Indian hiring companies catch venture capital eye again

The latest is Matrix Partners India, which has invested an undisclosed amount in GrownOut, which uses professional networks such as LinkedIn to make automated referral hirings. This comes as other recruitment portals have attracted funding from venture capital firms such as IDG Ventures India, Mayfield and Helion Ventures over the last three-four months.
