Hi everyone! My name is Pavel Podkorytov, and I am the founder of TalentService - a revolutionary developer-focused platform for employer assessment and remote recruitment. It is a platform that uses an innovative approach of reversed recruitment of IT talents: it's not the talents who have to prove to the companies their competencies and ability to fit in the company, but the recruiters who now need to prove to the talents that their culture and working environment of their company are suitable for the IT talent that they are recruiting.

The geography of talents comprises CIS, Eastern Europe, and India. Three of the top markets where job openings come from are the US, Germany, and the UK.

Building a marketplace is one of the hardest business models you can get into, but we’re extremely confident we’ll make it work.

By way of introduction, I am the co-founder of Permworks, a jobs board that connects employers around the world with Filipino talent. We also offer recruitment and compliance services to take care of the legal and hiring aspects of the process, making it easier for employers to find and hire top talent from the Philippines.

With a background in start-ups and marketplaces, I’ve set out to make it easy to hire Filipino talent direct.

My name is Jacob Fiore, and I started a recruiting business to help high-growth startups find the best talent. This was initially a side project while I was working full-time in investments for a mutual fund company. After six months as a side hustle, I was able to go full-time and haven’t looked back.

There are a lot of generalists in recruiting. What can help set you apart is focusing on specific roles. For instance, our focus has been software engineering. 95% of our business has come from placing software engineers into venture capital-backed startups. We work with companies creating innovative technology with around $1B raised in venture funding.
