About KUPU
KUPU, operating under PT Dalligent Solusi Indonesia, is a recruitment technology firm targeting the Indonesian market, founded in 2021 by Haibo Zhou. Zhou, who previously held executive roles in various Chinese companies, established KUPU to address inefficiencies in the hiring process. The company has secured a total of $11 million in funding over two rounds, including a significant $6 million Series A round in September 2023, led by Ascend Global Investment Fund. Other notable investors include Sinar Mas Group and Smartfren.
The company's core business revolves around an AI-powered job platform that connects job seekers with employers. It aims to streamline recruitment by making it more accurate and efficient for both parties. The platform serves a wide range of clients, from individuals seeking employment to large corporations, including prominent names like Allianz, DBS Bank, Mitsubishi, and Burger King. The business model is centered on providing a comprehensive suite of recruitment tools and services through its mobile application, available on both Android and iOS.
KUPU's platform is distinguished by several AI-driven features. For employers, it offers omnichannel sourcing, AI-facilitated video interviews where a system can automatically conduct initial screenings, and AI matching models to score and shortlist candidates based on job compatibility. This is designed to significantly reduce the time and effort spent on reviewing applications. For job seekers, the service facilitates quick CV creation, AI-powered job recommendations, and the ability to create video profiles. The platform also provides a personalized career advisor, 'Mita', to guide users. Beyond the core platform, KUPU offers specialized services, including an executive search arm called FLYHIRE and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) for businesses looking to fill multiple roles.
