Recently, we’ve seen massive growth in Asia’s internet industry. Powering the growth of these disruptive tech startups and corporates are talented people: software engineers, data scientists, product managers, tech-savvy businessmen, and marketing and sales people. To help this community grow, Tech in Asia is working to solve tech companies’ recruitment woes.
A while back, we launched Tech in Asia Jobs, a free-to-use jobs platform that has processed more than 10,000 monthly job applications and over 3,000 job postings.
We are happy to see that the jobs platform has helped many connect to employers and eventually get hired. However, our data suggests there are jobs with low application rates, unfilled even after weeks or months. Community Recruiting is a paid service launched to help these tech companies with urgent or hard to find roles.
How does it work?
Community Recruiting is created to be different from the offerings of traditional recruiting firms. Here’s how we do it:

- Using your company’s story, mission, and culture (instead of inflated salaries) to attract talent, ensures that your hire has the best cultural fit.
- Within a few days, our technically competent talent advocates, who are knowledgeable in framework and web and mobile development languages, will work with you to hire people who match your needs and wants precisely.
- Upon hiring a successful candidate, Tech in Asia will charge a percentage of their annual salary as a placement fee.
However, we must also be in tune with the needs of job seekers to better match them to your company. We do this through the use of data and learnings from the tech community.
Benefits for employer
Community Recruiting is a better way to hire because we’ll do the heavy lifting for you. But that’s not all. Here are the other reasons:
- We’ve built a community of startup and tech enthusiasts you can reach out to. This means quality talent who are genuinely interested in your company and job posting.
- Leverage TIA’s existing events, jobs, and community platforms. Using a data-driven approach, we fill roles quickly with qualified talent.
- Community Recruiting is also secure. We’ll find you a replacement talent if things don’t work out between both parties within the first three months.
One of our happy customers, Smartly’s head of APAC, Jose Kantola, commented on how Community Recruiting works for him:
“[Tech in Asia demonstrated] quick and straightforward execution, and a professional approach to understanding and adapting the service to our business needs.”
