A promising PH tech start up Kalibrr has raised USD1.9M to launch its revolutionary product. The team headed by its CEO Paul Rivera, a Pinoy Entrepreneur, a former Googler, including the 15 others faced the media earlier to announce their first product. Kalibrr recently raised about P83 millions from global investors like Omidyar Network, Siemer Ventures, Learn Capital and KickStart Ventures a company owned by Globe.
Kalibrr came into life Rivera came back to the Philippines and started his own BPO company. The downtime of assessment and recruitment process made him think to put up a cloud-based hiring system, making it easier for the HR people to choose the right candidate.
Rosales relates, the Philippines is already making USD20 billions annually from the BPO business and its time to go back and create that knowledge economy.
Kalibrr will be offered as Software as a Service, or a subscription-based solution for recruitment agencies, headhunters and BPO companies. It will dramatically improve recruitment process and get rid of lots of downtime in terms of hiring the right person for the job.
Kalibbr will change the long and tiring process of recruitment by putting up a cloud-based solution where in the job seeker fills up necessary information to the site, and then the recruiter can now verify and filter needed information from the database. The selected candidate can be informed via SMS which is integrated in the system through Globe.
Currently Kalibrr is on pilot stage and according to Rivera, they are now in talks to at least 10 BPOs are most of them have expressed positive intention.
Kalibrr was co-founded by Dexter Ligot-Gordon, Paul Rivera, Timothy Truna, and Danny Castonguay.
When Paul Rivera was presenting the product earlier, I remembered the days when I was still selling IT Solutions, and I got excited for Kalibrr. I was seeing lots of Dollar signs in my mind earlier!
