07 April 2021

Glints, a recruitment and career development platform based in Singapore, announced today it has raised $22.5 million in Series C funding led by Japanese human resources management firm Persol Holdings. According to TechCrunch, the new capital will be used on Glints’ expansion in Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Taiwan and hiring for its product and engineering teams. Glints’ co-founder and chief executive officer Oswald Yeo said this is the largest funding round to date for a talent platform in Southeast Asia, and brings the startup’s total raised to $33 million. Most of its current users are from the tech and financial services sectors, but Glints has a “broad horizontal focus on young to mid-level professionals,” and its long-term goal is to be ‘sector agnostic’. Founded in 2013, Glints says it has been used by more than 1.5 million professionals and almost 35,000 companies worldwide.
