We’re Launching Tech Talents As A Service (TAAS) to provide Thailand Corporates the best people for Venture Building

January 2020, SCB 10X Announcing the new focus towards Venture Building

Last month in the news we have seen a lot of Thai corporates talking about this new focus of “Venture Building”. SCB, SCG, Krungsi: The most innovative digital corporates in the country are now reallocating their innovation and corporate VC budgets towards building internally new business units digitally enhanced and powered with the tech startup Mindset.

At GetLinks we also believe Venture Building is the key to digital transformation. Our founders have built several companies before to start GetLinks and this was only possible because of one thing: Access to Accessible, Passionate and Tech Minded workforce. In the early days, Keenan Kwok, one of our angel investors, and new CEO has actually incubated GetLinks in his office back in 2015 and helped me founding this company by giving us resources to afford many freelancers to build GetLinks product and start making our first dollars.

GetLinks is Launching Talents As a service

To support this new growth of Venture building, in 2020, GetLinks adapt to provide Venture builders: the people with the right startup mindsets to embark with these corporations in this digital transformation journey. In partnership with each corporation launching their Venture Builder, GetLinks want to pair with them to offer Venture Building As A Service, fueling this initiative with what we have, tech talents. Here is how:

Since 2015, GetLinks have been a major in the digital transformation of the country. Starting by organizing the first large tech event in Thailand in 2015, Bangkok Startup Job Fest with more than 4000 attendees, key corporates like SCB, DTAC, Accenture along with Google, LINE, Ookbee on stage at that time: That was kick-ing off Thailand new technology scene. And this was just the beginning because just a few years later Techsauce is now 20,000 attendees per year and Thailand is recognized to host more tech startups and more Tech Talents than Singapore itself.

Today, our mission to make tech hiring simple doesn’t stop with GetLinks online Marketplace. When we brought our marketplace hiring service to market last year, our goal was to provide easy access to a pipeline of tech talent for our customers. Now, we’re taking it a step further with a tiered client's headcount subscription model that delivers more value. Starting with our new staffing package, Talents As A Service (TAAS), companies will now be able to have GetLinks tech experts working at their offices for a duration of 1 day up to 6 months on a temporary basis. Making once more tech hiring easier, more affordable, and flexible.

• Making IT Contracting Affordable Risk-Free: Last 10 years, with IBM crazy expensive IT contracting fees, or Headhunters, the market has provided recruiting options helping in-house recruiting teams to receive a low quality of IT contractors in exchange for very expensive — sometimes IBM charging 1M THB per month for one IT contractor. GetLinks new Talents As A Service putting an end to this by making your company pay transparent hiring fees with much lower margins.
