About Belong.co

Belong.co operates as a data-driven, predictive outbound hiring platform, established in 2014. The company was founded in Bangalore, India, by Vijay Sharma, Sudheendra Chilappagari, Rishabh Kaul, and Saiteja Veera. The founding team brought together diverse experiences; for instance, prior to Belong.co, CEO Vijay Sharma had worked with companies like Exotel and Practo, and holds degrees from BITS Pilani and the Indian School of Business. Co-founder Sudheendra Chilappagari also graduated from BITS Pilani and served as the head of product, later joining Twilio Segment and then Battery Ventures as a Principal. This background in technology and business informed the company's approach to disrupting traditional recruitment.

Read full description

The firm's core business revolves around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that assists organizations in discovering, engaging, and hiring talent. It targets growing companies that need to scale their hiring processes efficiently. Belong.co's business model is centered on providing this technology to recruiters, shifting them from a reactive, inbound model to a proactive, outbound strategy. Revenue is generated through subscriptions to this platform. The company has secured $15 million in funding over two rounds, including a $10 million Series B in late 2016 led by Peak XV Partners.

The platform utilizes machine intelligence and predictive analytics to identify candidates who are not only a strong fit for a role but are also likely to be open to new opportunities. It curates data from various online sources, including social media and professional profiles, to build comprehensive candidate profiles, moving beyond the traditional CV. Key features include the ability to engage with these spotted candidates through personalized interactions, aiming to improve conversion rates compared to conventional platforms. By focusing on this targeted and data-informed approach, the service enables businesses to accelerate their hiring cycles and connect with otherwise difficult-to-find talent.
