What started as a simple side project under youth empowerment initiative Victaman has now become a game-changer in India’s recruitment landscape. EarlyJobs, founded by dynamic entrepreneur and business strategist Saurav Kumar, is transforming the way companies discover talent while creating remote earning opportunities—especially for women freelance recruiters.
Launched in 2024 as an experimental model within Victaman, EarlyJobs quickly gained momentum when Saurav identified an untapped workforce: women with prior HR experience who had paused their careers for personal responsibilities, and students looking for industry exposure. What began as a pilot initiative to connect youth with flexible work turned into a much larger mission—to redefine recruitment through technology and decentralization.
“I never intended to build a recruitment company,” said Saurav Kumar, Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor of EarlyJobs. “But when applications poured in from women HR professionals and students across India, it became clear there was a major gap in the ecosystem—and an opportunity to build something meaningful.”
Bridging a Market Gap with Technology and Human Expertise
Unlike traditional recruitment agencies that operate on rigid retainers, EarlyJobs adopts a results-first model where clients pay only after successful hires. This pay-per-placement model, backed by a confidence-boosting replacement guarantee, ensures complete alignment between client success and platform incentives.
With a tech-enabled platform that blends AI-powered automation with a growing network of 200+ freelance recruiters—over 80% of whom are women—EarlyJobs offers clients faster, more cost-effective hiring solutions, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
“Our freelance recruiters were outperforming traditional agencies—finding quality candidates faster and at a fraction of the cost,” added Saurav. “We realized we had created a model that was both scalable and socially impactful.”
Seed Funding Secured at ₹16.7 Crore Valuation
EarlyJobs recently raised ₹1.2 crore in seed funding at a ₹16.7 crore valuation. This capital infusion will fuel the company’s next phase of growth: onboarding over 10,000 freelance recruiters and launching 750+ franchise-based recruitment hubs by the end of 2025. These hubs will serve as entrepreneurial platforms for individuals to build their own businesses under the EarlyJobs brand.
Impact at Scale: Over 1,000 Placements and 50+ Enterprise Clients
Within just one year, EarlyJobs has facilitated 1,000+ successful placements and is actively managing 3,000+ job openings. Enterprise clients such as Star Health Insurance, HDFC, Franklin Aviation, Teleperformance, and Cogent have adopted EarlyJobs’ recruitment model for its transparency, performance-based pricing, and talent reach.
“Clients appreciate that we don’t charge upfront. We only get paid if they get results,” said Saurav. “That’s a value proposition the market was clearly waiting for.”
A Platform Built for Inclusion and Economic Empowerment
The platform’s focus on flexible work models has enabled women across 150+ cities to re-enter the workforce on their own terms. Many EarlyJobs recruiters balance professional growth with family responsibilities—creating a powerful narrative around inclusion and remote employment.
“We’re addressing a real issue—how to bring skilled women back into the workforce,” Saurav shared. “This model is not just solving hiring problems for companies, it’s transforming lives.”
In addition to empowering women, EarlyJobs is also nurturing the next generation of recruiters through internship programs, including in-campus initiatives with colleges and universities to provide real-world experience to aspiring professionals.
A Vision for the Future: 1 Million Jobs Monthly by 2027
Looking ahead, EarlyJobs has set an ambitious target of enabling 1 million job opportunities every month by 2027. This bold vision will be powered by its hybrid approach to recruitment, a tech stack that evolves with market needs, and a continuously growing base of freelance recruiters and partners.
“The most impactful businesses often start as simple experiments,” said Saurav. “EarlyJobs wasn’t planned—it emerged from listening to the market and responding to real needs. That adaptability continues to define our culture today.”
As the company scales, it remains committed to two missions: helping businesses discover talent efficiently, and creating flexible, dignified income opportunities for recruiters across India.
