$15M to join the Skuad and start hiring global talent remotely

October 21, 2022

Hiring internationally? Check out Singapore's Skuad. They make finding and hiring global talent easy. Now, they've just raised a $15M Series A!

  • They've signed over 350 employers globally, including Funding Societies, Janio and Sayurbox in SEA.
  • They have customers from 34 countries, placed talent in 94 countries and grew ARR 3x since January this year.

Investor check. The round was led by a SEA VC fund. A US strategic investor, two leading global payments platforms and returning investors BEENEXT and Anthemis also joined in!

❌ The status quo sucks

Want to hire remote talent? Great! What's not great? It takes ages to set everything up, requires thousands of dollars and is just a huge pain.

For each country you hire from, you need to have a subsidiary, a registered entity and a local bank account.

  • Plus, you need to comply with each country's employment laws, hire local HR/legal teams and more.

😏 Skip all that

Don't limit yourself to local! Hire, onboard and pay employees and contractors in 160+ countries legally without the hassle (and headache).

They help you pay in 100+ currencies, manage all the local compliances, contracts and laws, provide country-specific employee benefits and insurance — and even issue work laptops.

  • They also have an onboarding feature that can let you onboard hires as fast as same-day!

😱 And even more

Yes, hiring global talent remotely massively widens your talent pool. In theory, it's a great way to fill your open roles and scale your company quickly.

  • But consistently sourcing the best remote talent in time is tough too!

What's different? They also source, pre-screen and pick the best remote talent to match them with clients who need extra help. And of course, the clients use Skuad to hire them!

  • It'll only get better! They're also finalizing their acquisition of Codejudge, a platform that automates tech interviews to make data-driven hires.
