8 Questions to Xania Wong from JobDoh - A startup recruiting like crazy

Can you give a brief introduction about your company?

A curated booking platform for short-term and temporary staff anytime, anywhere

What was your biggest challenge or the worst decision you had made and had to flip away from afterwards?

Not put in place a proper governance/ structure for organization

What is your dream and vision for JOBDOH?

Transform the way people work and live such that we work to live, not live to work

How do you get your brand out there?

(Did you leverage any connections to other startups? Any other meaningful relationships or connections that helped you?)

We won a number of awards, incubation programs and got a bit of PR. Also got some chances to speak which are all helpful. Still learning to improve on SEM, SEO and content marketing though

TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More.
What keeps your team going? What do they value the most?

The vision that we are improving people's lives, job by job. Users can store their work records and ratings on our app to get more upward movements. We have users now working everyday on our platform to augment their quality of life. They are either students or mothers and can't have a fixed working schedule hence a flexible employment model is exactly what they need.

You are growing your team really fast, how quick can or should a startup team grow? Any advice/ watch-outs?

Not sure that we are growing the team too quickly. It's hard to get good talents so we'd rather hire early before we are really short-staffed. (Though we are already short-staffed since there are only two of us.)

What is the one reason to start a startup in HK? And what would be the reason not to do so?

Convenience (especially with dealing with government organizations.) Challenge is convincing investors that it's OK to start first with HK, win here and then go regional and global.

What is your #Startup Passion?

"Make sh*t happen" (maybe better say stuff haha)
