Asia Tech Podcast - Episode 110 - Oswald Yeo - CEO & Co-founder of Glints - Missionaries, Not Mercenaries

Listen Later

The Asia Tech Podcast had a great conversation with Oswald Yeo, a co-founder and the CEO of Glints. Glints is a Southeast Asia-based recruitment platform that helps companies build successful teams with young talent.  Its mission to help companies hire the right, young talent effectively and for young people to discover and develop careers they love.

Some of the topics that Oswald and I covered:

  • The biggest trend in HR Tech is remote hiring and remote working
  • COVID did not initiate this trend, but definitely accelerated it
  • Online learning and the rise of Glints Academy
  • How the team of co-founders initially tried to balance university and their startup and both suffered
  • The reactions of their families and friends to leaving Wharton, Stanford and Berkeley
  • After coming home to a lot of fanfare, three years of near-death experiences
  • The difficulty of finding the right business model and product-market fit
  • The significant impact of COVID on the Glints business
  • Learning about managing through a crisis
