Banking on big data to hire the best: The Belong Story

"Companies want to build great teams by hiring the best talent. But the best people don't apply on job sites typically. So then how do you hire those people?" Founded in 2014 by Exotel co-founder Vijay Sharma, Sudheendra Chilappagari, Saiteja Veera, and Rishabh Kaul, the idea was simple- instead of the inbound approach to hiring which companies follow, Belong bet on outbound hiring to disrupt the hiring space. The predictive hiring startup aims to give companies the tools to help them reach out to the best people, making it a very personalized engagement.
