Weploy | Tech app redefining recruitment @Dawn Ep. 73 ft. Tony Wu
Episode description
The chance meeting of a young boy named Sergio while on a trek made Tony Wu quit his 9-5 job and comfortable salary to pursue his dream of creating a startup - Weploy - that would help change the recruitment sector for little guys like Sergio. The Weploy app is designed to simplify the recruitment process for companies, eliminating unnecessary bias upon candidates for positions. This new staffing platform dominates the market today.
A humble and mindful leader, Tony shares with Dai Le his drive to create a fearless and empowered future using technology.
