Founded in 2017 by Joshua Tan and Kelvin Lee, Troopers matches users to part-time positions that suit their capabilities. After landing a job, users can check in for attendance, make field reports, and be notified about salary payment via the platform.
The company launched its mobile app in June, acquiring more than 35,000 users and placing over 20,000 jobs. Since its inception, Troopers has helped over 100,000 people to get jobs.
Troopers plans to use the fresh funds for technology development and marketing as well as to expand its business across Malaysia. The startup can also help Shopper360’s core businesses, which are highly reliant on sourcing and recruiting suitable talent, said Sue Ann Che, executive chairman of the marketing service.
