Hyderabad: Online recruitment platform TechFynder – that has its India office in Hyderabad – is planning to increase its headcount in the city by recruiting 200 people. Currently, the Dublin-headquartered company has a total of 90 people employed and plans to set up offices in the US and London.
Started off as a hiring platform for contract workers in the IT sector, the parent company Test Triangle launched TechFynder in October 2019 to provide contract workers for other sectors as well. “We were into hiring temporary contractors for big IT companies like Accenture, TCS, Infosys, and others as this segment lacked a dedicated platform for contractors. We started witnessing the same kind of interest for contract workers in other sectors like pharmaceutical, sales, and marketing and that is how TechFynder came into being,” said Praveen Madire, founder, TechFynder.
Madire is a Hyderabad-born entrepreneur who moved to Ireland in the early 2000s and worked in big enterprises before setting up Test Triangle in 2014.
The company has its development centre in Hyderabad with about 20 people and plans to increase this number to 200 by end of next year. In addition, it also plans to have a headcount of 1,000 people in all its offices combined. In terms of client base, the company is working 30,000 registered users.
TechFynder offers three subscriptions – free, standard, and premium strategic – and offers services that include background verification checks, outsourcing recruitment, and providing the right candidates for a particular role. “The top job profiles on our platform are data analysts, digital transformation-related skillsets, programme manager. We are growing 30 percent year-on-year,” said Madire.
