What Impactpool does

Impactpool (legally Intalma AB) is a Stockholm-based, AI-enabled career platform founded in 2015 that operates as a two-sided marketplace connecting impact-focused professionals with humanitarian, development, and international organizations. The platform serves approximately one million members across 195 countries and is used by more than 3,500 employer organizations, including UN agencies (FAO, UNDP, UNICEF, WFP), the International Committee of the Red Cross, IOM, Save the Children, the OPEC Fund for International Development, OCHA, and development-focused climate foundations. The platform adds roughly 10,000 new members per month, and its audience composition skews toward women (54%) and globally distributed professionals seeking careers in international organizations, NGOs, and EU institutions.

The core product is the Impactpool Talent Suite, an applicant tracking system purpose-built for the impact sector that includes AI-powered job matching against industry-specific skills and grading criteria, advanced candidate search filters, talent pools and rosters for proactive recruitment, employer branding tools, and diversity analytics. Supporting products include free and paid job postings (promoted listings at €549), region- and industry-specific Virtual Career Fairs (events targeting MENA, Latin America/Caribbean, APAC, and verticals like climate finance and tech for global good), a paid Coaching service staffed by former UN/NGO professionals, a premium Fellowship membership, and a content ecosystem anchored by the Impactpool Pulse Report 2025 and the 'Making an Impact' career podcast. Technology integrations are limited: LinkedIn for authentication, Stripe and PayPal for payments, and Pipedrive for CRM.

Impactpool generates revenue through a freemium and subscription mix. Job seekers access the platform free of charge; employers can post a limited free listing or pay €549 for a promoted posting with extended visibility and candidate matching. The Talent Suite is offered on a subscription basis after a 30-day free trial. Additional revenue streams include recruitment promotion services (newsletter reaching 1M+ subscribers, social media campaigns reaching 500k+ followers), coaching engagements, and Fellowship subscriptions. Go-to-market combines product-led growth for SMB employers and job seekers with field sales for large enterprise employers, supplemented by event-driven acquisition through Virtual Career Fairs and community-led engagement via content and fellowship programs. The company has raised approximately €6M+ in cumulative funding across five rounds, most recently a €3.6 million Series A in August 2024 led by Mediahuis and Fort Knox.
