Glints

Looking for a job? Find your dream role on Glints. They're one of Southeast Asia's leading career development and recruitment platforms. Now, they've just raised a $50M Series D!

  • Their platform has over 3M talents in six markets (Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and the Philippines) and 50,000 companies looking for talent.
  • Their end-to-end ecosystem includes job listings, community features and skill-building.

Investor check. DCM Ventures, Lavender Hill Capital and PERSOL Holdings co-led the round. Endeavor Catalyst, Monk's Hill Ventures and Fresco. Capital also joined in.

  • 👼🏻: Binny Bansal (Co-founder, Flipkart), Brian Wong, Sam Marks and Bernd Walterman.
  • Launched in 2015, they've raised over $80M to date.

🔢 Run the numbers

  • Glints' annual revenue and gross profits grew 2.5x over the past 12 months.
  • They've doubled growth every year since 2018, and their Indonesia and Vietnam operations are profitable.

🥵 The hottest job opportunities?

Going borderless. One factor driving Glints' growth is the epic rise of cross-border remote work over the pandemic. (Yup, companies looking for talent outside the country they're operating in.)

  • They've seen an 11x increase in cross-border job opportunities over the past two years.
  • Remote cross-border job postings grew 3x YoY.

The lesson? If you're not tapping into remote foreign talent yet, you should.

🇵🇭 It's more fun in the Philippines

The new $$$ is to support Glints' expansion to the Philippines, where they're focusing on growing their talent supply base.

  • Why the PH? Their large and fast-growing international workforce. Plus, they're seeing local employers interested in hiring local tech talent and remote roles.

On the product side, they're looking to bring more opportunities and resources for professional growth!

  • They're also looking to grow their employer base globally and hire for their product and tech teams.
