Twenty years of placing people into jobs taught me one thing: the best candidates rarely get found, and the best opportunities rarely reach the people who deserve them. FreeFindTalent exists to change that.
I've spent two decades inside the world of talent — placing professionals across APAC, watching agencies collect 20–30% fees for work that should be simpler, cheaper, and available to everyone. I started FreeFindTalent because I genuinely believe that finding your career home shouldn't cost a fortune or require knowing the right people.
I've sat on both sides of the desk. I've been the recruiter charging $15,000 to place a hire. I've been the candidate who didn't make it to interview because my CV landed in the wrong inbox. I've watched brilliant people go unnoticed because they weren't on LinkedIn, or didn't know an agent, or simply couldn't afford to sit on a paid platform's radar.
The traditional recruitment model works for the agency. It doesn't really work for the employer who's paying through the nose. And it definitely doesn't work for the candidate who's invisible to the whole process.
That never sat right with me. So after two decades, I built the alternative.
A career home isn't just a job. It's the role where your skills are genuinely valued, where the culture fits, where you grow. I've seen what happens when people find it — they stay, they thrive, they refer others. And I've seen what happens when they don't — they churn through roles, lose confidence, wonder if they're the problem.
The problem is almost never the person. It's the system that couldn't surface the right opportunity at the right time. FreeFindTalent is my attempt to fix the system — using AI to do in seconds what good recruiters take weeks to do by hand, and making it free so it can reach everyone, not just those with budget.
Recruitment agencies exist because sourcing talent is hard. It requires access to multiple platforms, the ability to evaluate and rank profiles, and years of market knowledge to benchmark salaries. We've automated all of that. Our AI queries 14 live API sources simultaneously — plus Gemini-powered discovery for specialist sectors — ranks every profile against your criteria, and delivers the best matches in seconds.
No retainer. No placement fee. No exclusivity. No gatekeeping. If you're a recruiter, this makes your job faster. If you're a small business that can't afford an agency, this levels the playing field. If you're a candidate, this means you can be found by employers you'd never have reached otherwise.
That's the disruption. Not technology for its own sake — technology in service of fairness.
