ZoEasy Solutions operates as a social enterprise focused on the ethical recruitment of migrant blue-collar workers. Founded by Spandana Palaypu in 2016, the company is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and was established to address systemic issues within the migrant worker recruitment sector. The firm's core mission is to supplant the traditional, and often exploitative, middleman system by creating a direct channel between employers and job seekers.
The market ZoEasy serves is characterized by archaic and cumbersome recruitment processes, where intermediaries can charge substantial fees to both the worker and the employer, often resulting in mismatched placements and misrepresentation of job roles. ZoEasy disrupts this model by providing an online job-matching platform that connects blue-collar candidates with suitable and ethical employment opportunities. The platform analyzes a candidate's skills and experience to align them with appropriate vacancies in sectors such as domestic work, nursing, housekeeping, and general office services. To ensure ethical practices, companies undergo a background check before they are permitted to post job openings on the platform.
The business operates on a B2C model, directly empowering job seekers. Since its inception, the company has built a database of 65,000 workers and has successfully run pilot programs. Financially, ZoEasy secured $150,000 in a seed funding round on August 17, 2016, from a single institutional investor, Idein Ventures. The company has also engaged in significant partnerships, including signing Memorandums of Understanding with two state governments in India to train and place workers in appropriate jobs abroad. Following an appearance at the One Young World 2018 The Hague Summit, the founder was inspired to expand the platform's vision towards a broader community hub offering a wider range of services to jobseekers. However, one source indicated the company may have gone out of business as of August 2024.
