EarlyJobs, a tech-enabled recruitment platform blending AI technology with a network of freelance recruiters, has successfully raised ₹1.2 crore in seed funding. The round was led by Power Tech Enterprises, with additional participation from angel investor N J Jacob.
The fresh capital will fuel EarlyJobs’ expansion as it builds on its rapid growth across 150+ cities in India. The company plans to enhance its AI-powered recruitment platform and accelerate its mission to modernize hiring with a pay-per-hire model.
Disrupting Traditional Hiring with Tech-Enabled Solutions
Founded by Ravi Prakash Kumar, Surbhi Rani, and Saurav Kumar, EarlyJobs addresses the inefficiencies of traditional recruitment processes. Its zero-subscription, pay-only-on-hire model aligns hiring success with platform performance, offering a sharp contrast to conventional portals that charge upfront fees.
“Hiring should be outcome-driven, not fee-driven,” said Asish Chakraborty, CEO and Co-founder of EarlyJobs. “This fundraise validates our approach and strengthens our commitment to making recruitment more accountable and effective.”
Initially an extension of Victaman—a venture providing software, marketing, and recruitment services—EarlyJobs was born out of the need for a scalable and technology-driven recruitment solution, especially for women and students seeking flexible opportunities.
Strong Traction and Clientele Growth
Since its inception, EarlyJobs has facilitated over 13,000 interviews and 1,000+ successful job placements through a network of 200+ freelance recruiters. The platform currently manages 3,000+ open positions and serves 50+ leading enterprise clients including Flipkart, Cogent, Bigbasket, HDFC, Justdial, Shaadi.com, JindalX, and Ebixcash.
The platform also fosters flexible work models—over 80% of its recruiters are women professionals working remotely, enabling them to build independent recruitment careers while balancing personal responsibilities.
“Traditional employment often limits opportunities for women due to rigid schedules,” said Surbhi Rani, Co-founder and Director. “Our platform empowers skilled professionals to work on their own terms.”
Leadership and Growth Plans
The company’s leadership team includes:
-
Akanksha Bharti, Co-founder and AVP, who leads recruiter hiring and training initiatives.
-
Prashob P, Chief Technology Advisor, who has strengthened EarlyJobs’ web and mobile infrastructure.
-
Dipanjana Das and Ratan Saha, key advisors enhancing the company’s ethical foundations and growth strategies.
EarlyJobs plans to onboard 10,000 recruiters and launch 750+ franchise-led hubs by 2025. These hubs will empower entrepreneurs to set up their own agencies under the EarlyJobs brand, broadening its impact across India.
The successful fundraising effort was coordinated by Amritam Basu and Shashank Chaurasia from the Founder’s Office. Their combined expertise in legal compliance, strategic positioning, and investor communications was instrumental in securing investor confidence.
“EarlyJobs is addressing critical pain points of traditional hiring—slow turnarounds, high costs, and misaligned incentives,” said an investor spokesperson. “Their scalable model offers both impact and opportunity.”
Shaping the Future of Recruitment in India
Looking ahead, EarlyJobs aims to create 1 million jobs per month by 2027, transforming the recruitment landscape with speed, transparency, and inclusivity.
“This milestone is just the beginning,” said Saurav Kumar, Co-founder and Strategic Advisor. “We envision a future where recruitment is fast, outcome-driven, and creates meaningful opportunities for all.”
With its unique model and fresh funding, EarlyJobs is well-positioned to disrupt India’s recruitment sector and build a future-ready talent marketplace.
