East Ventures on Instagram: "During his tenure at East Ventures around 2016, Steven Suliawan was given the opportunity to take a helicopter view of the ecosystem built by East Ventures. . At the time, many East Ventures’ portfolio firms faced difficulties in hiring new talent. Steven tried to help by using a CV search feature from one of the largest job board sites. As he tried to find ‘Software Engineers’ in Jakarta, only 300 engineers showed up with poor relevance to what East Ventures’ portfolio companies needed. Steven eventually identified the problem in the market and was determined to solve it. . Fast forward to today, @ekrutofficial has over 2,700 employers and 120,000 highly skilled candidates in its database. The data science team curates around 5% of applicants each week before being accepted to join the platform’s marketplace. The employers will then be able to review, engage, and potentially hire these highly-qualified candidates within two weeks on average. . As the early supporter of EKRUT since its inception, we are excited to see the growth acceleration that Steven and his team will achieve after this Pre-Series A funding. .
