Redrob Launches Redrob Online Skill Tests and Secures $4M in Seed Round
- ByStartupStory | December 20, 2023
Redrob, a global recruitment platform operated by McKinley Rice, has announced the launch of Redrob Online Skill Tests. This new offering is part of Redrob’s initiative to integrate AI into every aspect of the recruitment process, from candidate search and messaging to interviews. The company has also revealed that it recently closed a $4 million seed round in October.
Redrob Online Skill Tests are designed to enable companies to create and deploy skill assessments for job applicants in as little as 30 seconds. This allows them to predict a candidate’s on-the-job performance without the influence of human bias.
The seed round was co-led by Murex Partners and DS & Partners, both of which have a track record of investing in notable South Korean tech unicorns such as Musinsa, Market Kurly, and Yanolja.
Following this successful fundraising round, Redrob is expanding its online testing platform with the introduction of “Redrob Global People Search.” This new feature utilizes AI to reorganize global people data into a more universally understandable format, facilitating activities such as sales, networking, and recruitment.
Felix Kim, co-founder and CEO of Redrob, commented on the significance of this expansion, stating, “65% of the world’s population is online, yet so few businesses are truly global. The greatest obstacle to hiring and selling globally is a lack of contextual knowledge. For example, U.S. recruiters don’t know about the local Ivy League in India, while Indian salespeople don’t know much about local distributors in the U.S. Redrob will break down country-specific silos of contextual knowledge, and in doing so, we’ll revolutionize the way people meet online.”
In addition to its focus on global expansion, Redrob is anticipating a trend towards more globally distributed companies. To support this shift, the company will be expanding its Employer of Record (EOR) product line. Redrob’s EOR offering enables companies to hire talent from countries like India without the need to set up an office or manage payroll, allowing even small startups to operate on a 24/7 basis similar to Fortune 500 companies and their global subsidiaries.
