Our journey at We are has been 10 years in the making. In 2011, after spending 7 years in the recruitment industry, I felt the urge to expand my horizon and decided to pursue a different model of business. I set up shop to hire, train and deploy candidates from various spheres and help them join the corporate world. After a very satisfying 5 years, I decided to jump back to recruitment, and what I saw made me realize how much the industry had changed since I left. The mindset of job seekers was on a different trajectory than what it was 5 years earlier. Big multinational companies were no longer the flavor of the season, rather, it was the small, relatively unknown startups that were ruling the roost and heralding a new era in the software industry. The lure of ESOPs, exponential growth, and the use of state-of-the-art technologies in these startups were rolling a lot of eyeballs. Job-seekers were convinced that this was the career they wanted, where they could add value, be an integral part of the business and gain immense satisfaction in building ground-breaking products. But there was a two-fold problem. First, startups didn't have the knack to project themselves as potential employers to hungry candidates. They had a solid vision of what they wanted to build but didn't have the right medium to promote themselves on the job market to attract the best talent. Second, candidates were in the dark and had no reliable source of information about these companies. This made them take a cautious approach to seek employment at these startups.
This is when the seed for starting We are was sown in my mind. I decided to help these startups to showcase themselves, hire the best talent and pursue their goals. We started creating pitch decks for these startups and circulated them to prospective candidates. The results were instantaneous. We began to see a spike in the candidates’ interest and they were forthcoming in giving interviews at these startups. It was a win-win situation. I could see my idea was working big time. But, in my mind, I knew this was just the beginning. We had a lot more to do. We went full throttle and began visiting all these startup companies. We went to their campus, spoke to their teams, understood the use cases that they were trying to build, and grasped the challenges that they were struggling to overcome. It was a truly exhilarating experience. We were quite taken aback to see how much of a gap there was between what the companies wanted and what they actually got. Just to cite an example, one of the clients that I visited had a humongous amount of data in their repositories but was struggling to find well-qualified data scientists to build valuable insights out of that data. They simply had no idea how to go about recruiting the right people.
The time spent with all these companies was a real eye-opener for me. It taught me that every company comes with its own baggage as far as hiring is concerned. And unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. This is where I envision We are to play a breakthrough role and make hiring a seamless and awesome experience for both the candidate and the companies. We are lets employers talk to candidates, without the hassle of going to employer branding agencies. The We are platform will be a one-stop shop and single source of truth for companies to show the world who they are, and for job-seekers to explore their dream companies.
