Ryan, me, Jean, Diego, and Albert (JobStreet CTO) with our JS hats and teddy bears
I’ve been in Malaysia for the last 2 weeks working on a project at JobStreet.com with Diego, Jean, and Ryan. JobStreet is the equivalent of Monster.com in the US for Southeast Asia with operations in Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, and India. They even have a stake in 104 in Taiwan. The founders are all MIT alums so it’s truly an “MIT company”.
One thing I appreciate about the company is how down-to-earth and low key the executives are. JobStreet is a publicly listed company and well known in Malaysia - its ads are plastered all over taxis in Kuala Lumpur. Yet, Albert (CTO) and Mark (CEO) have made themselves available to us little MBA students. In turn, I can say our team worked VERY VERY hard on this project.
As cliched as it sounds, it’s really been a great learning experience both in business and culture. Thank you JobStreet!
p.s. If you ever want to advertise open positions in Asia, be sure to use JobStreet!
