TribeHired has successfully acquired and integrated HUBBA Hired’s recruiting business for an undisclosed fee
HUBBA Hired was part of a successful 3 month accelerator program within HUBBA, a Thailand-based co-working space. The company has recently announced that it is hiring for several dozen tech companies, such as LINE, the Ascend Group and Grab, with over 700 open positions in progress.
HUBBA Hired drew the attention and interest of TribeHired, a recruitment company. The former built a recruitment model that didn’t exist before in the region, which added to 300 per cent growth rate in the number of placements over a period of 3 months.
HUBBA Hired perfected the existing TAAS (Talent Acquisition as a Service) model over 12 months, and under the TribeHired family, will create a regional player already in 4 different cities.
