EarlyJobs, a tech-driven recruitment platform, has raised ₹1.2 crore in seed funding round led by Power Tech Enterprises, with additional backing from angel investor N J Jacob.
The funds raised will be used to expand its AI capabilities and further empower its growing base of freelance recruiters. The funding will enable the company to accelerate its product development and deepen its presence across India, where it already operates in over 150 cities.
Founded in 2024 by Asish Chakraborty, Ravi Prakash Kumar, Surbhi Rani, Akanksha Bharati, and Saurav Kumar, EarlyJobs is a tech-driven recruitment platform that blends artificial intelligence with a network of freelance recruiters. EarlyJobs is designed to facilitate freelance recruiters to work remotely. Additionally, it serves as a resource for students pursuing a degree or MBA to get training and internships.
EarlyJobs distinguishes itself with a zero-subscription, pay-per-hire model, offering companies a performance-based alternative to conventional portals and staffing agencies.
Instead of charging upfront like traditional portals and agencies, EarlyJobs only gets paid when a candidate is successfully hired, making it more fair for companies.
Unlike traditional platforms that charge upfront or by subscription, EarlyJobs gets paid when a candidate is successfully onboarded. This aligns incentives between the platform and its clients, making the process more transparent and results-focused.
The platform currently operates in 150+ cities, serving 50+ enterprise clients including Flipkart, Cogent, Bigbasket, HDFC, Justdial, shaadi.com, JindalX and Ebixcash.
With over 1000+ successful job placements and 13,000+ interviews facilitated, the company has validated its business model while maintaining a network of 200+ freelance recruiters to manage over 3,000+ open positions.
EarlyJobs aims to onboard 10,000 recruiters by 2025 and set up 750+ franchise-led hubs. These hubs will help entrepreneurs set up agencies under the EarlyJobs brand, expanding reach and creating business opportunities.
“Hiring should be outcome-driven, not fee-driven. This fundraise validates our approach and will accelerate our mission to make recruitment more accountable and effective across India,” said Asish Chakraborty, CEO & Co-founder.
“Our pay-per-hire model is changing how companies view recruitment. By removing subscriptions and focusing on performance, we’re bringing transparency, affordability and speed,” said Ravi Prakash Kumar, Founder and Director.
“Traditional employment often places women at a disadvantage due to rigid schedules and location constraints. Our platform enables skilled professionals, especially women, to build independent recruitment careers with the flexibility they need to balance work and personal responsibilities,” said, Surbhi Rani, Co-founder & Director.
