London, UK, 19th October 2023, ZEX PR WIRE<\/a>,<\/b> Calyptus, the Web3 HR-tech startup, has announced their new product launch Q1 next year, a global talent marketplace for hiring verified software engineers fast.<\/span><\/p>\n To date, <\/span>Calyptus<\/span><\/a> has helped over 6,000+ senior software engineers boost their employability or find a new job at a Web3 company, for free.<\/span><\/p>\n While placing engineers at Web3 employers such as The Graph, Gelato Network and Request Finance, the team solved the time-to-hire problem by building a deep talent pool of specialised software engineers, placing candidates 74% faster than the industry average. The startup\u2019s success led to cash flow positivity since August this year.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the startup\u2019s significant user base expansion came with unanticipated challenges. 10-20% of new applicants to the Calyptus community were fake or suspicious and almost exclusively coming from Linkedin Zooming out, the team discovered recruitment fraud had reached $304bn globally since the world of work turned virtual.<\/span><\/p>\n When they found out that over 80% of their employer partners were also experiencing the same problem, including 3 partners that had previously hired software engineers that were fraudulent, the team decided to build V2, a new and improved solution to verify and place engineers quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n Using a combination of AI automation and blockchain technology, the startup believes they can not only combat the $304bn recruitment fraud problem but ultimately speed up the time-to-hire for candidates by 2x the industry average.<\/span><\/p>\n The startup plans to break the endless cycle of candidates having to constantly \u201cprove themselves\u201d, from technical assessments to background checks. Instead, Calyptus will verify the professional\u2019s credentials upfront, one-time and put them securely on the blockchain. The more a candidate verifies themselves, the more they are recommended to employers.<\/span><\/p>\n Where verification is typically a hurdle for new user onboarding, the team has uniquely embedded AI recommendation engines and auto-fill technology every step of the user journey to help probabilistically populate information required by either candidate and employer.<\/span><\/p>\n To create the new platform, they\u2019ve brought in Ross Kolodyazhnyi. As CTO, Ross had previously scaled the crypto bank & exchange, Wirex, from $0 to 600m in revenue and profitability. Having grown the tech team to 500+ employees, he understood the tech hiring problem inside out for scaling V2 of the product. One of his key initiatives will be the introduction of a B2B SaaS model so employers can make unlimited hires at very low cost.<\/span><\/p>\n Having already raised funds from angels at NEAR, Wintermute & MoonPay, the team will now be going out for venture capital funding to significantly scale the company\u2019s sales efforts, marketing operations and expand their platform to all-tech hiring by Q4 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n Commenting on the launch is Dan Jones, CEO & Co-Founder at Calyptus:<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cHaving built up trust with the largest employers in Web3 from Gnosis to Optimism, we are now ready to offer the industry a truly-scalable platform that will drastically accelerate the time to placement between employer & candidate while being 2-10x cheaper than a traditional recruitment firm\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Commenting on the launch is Darren Thayre, Head of Innovation, Global Strategic Initiatives at Google: <\/b> \nThe Post Prove Yourself Once, Be Employable Forever \u2013 The Story of Calyptus, the UK HR-Tech Startup Set To Redefine Recruitment Globally\t<\/a> first appeared on ZEX PR Wire<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Information contained on this page is provided by an independent third-party content provider.
