Digital talent firms play a key role in youths lives these days. Uplers is one such talent matchmaking platform that attracts India’s top technology and digital talent, vets them for technical and communication skills, and matches them with global companies offering full-time long-term remote jobs using machine learning signals that ensure a high-level of fitment. Uplers also provides on-going support on payment and HR processes, legal and compliance matters, and learning and development.
With nearly a million engaged tech and digital professionals as followers on Social Media, regularly awarded as a top employer brand by Great Places To Work and LinkedIn, its popular workations, and the full-remote set-up, Uplers truly offers a one of a kind value proposition. Our hundreds of clients and talents are proof of that. Jaymin Bhuptani, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) at Uplers shared, Uplers Talent Success Coaches, assigned to each deployed talent, ensure that the talent has all the support needed to succeed in the client’s mission.
For the strong foundation of any organization, a strong connection between employer and employee is mandatory, how Uplers being a 100 % remote working set up helps employees to feel connected? To this, he answered, “Partly influenced by the pandemic and partly by our conviction for the model, we took the decision to go fully-remote. We certainly believe it works, and like any other model organizations have to make intentional efforts to make it work most effectively. And here is where organizational culture plays a key role. We have invested in building our culture. I believe the culture and values of an organization can truly help organizations navigate difficult times and scale at opportune moments.
Agility and the ability to pivot are deeply influenced by culture. Trust is implicit in a remote setting. Then there are operational aspects like technology and collaboration tools, effective use of virtual meetings and digital whiteboards, and comfort with asynchronous communication. Respecting personal time is important too. Finally, occasional meet-ups, like our popular workations, help in retaining the in-person interactions which certainly have value.”Uplers is committed to India, and the amazing technology and digital talent pool that India provides. Having entered this space only about a year or so ago, they now see the product-market fit. So now they are doubling-down their efforts, scaling and on a sharp growth curve.
Wondering if Uplers is giving job security? He shared, “That’s a great question, and one that we used to get often. Firstly, most jobs on Uplers are from global companies offering remote jobs that are full-time and long-term. By long-term we mean that if all goes well for both parties then the talent-client engagement simply continues like any other job. Of course like any other job there is a mutual exit clause with due notice.
Secondly, frequently Uplers talent whose deployment with a client has been successfully completed usually find another deployment through Uplers soon after. Besides, the opportunity to work from anywhere, on amazing tech projects, for top global companies, integrated directly within the client company as part of their distributed remote team, flexibility to choose work hours, and typically earn 1.5 to 2X of your peers, all of this makes the value proposition pretty compelling. We hear it everyday from our talent. Having said that, we recognize that Uplers is for tech and digital talent who are up for a challenge. And we are more than fine with that!”
