Summary Points

  • EarlyJobs evolved from Victaman to address India’s growing demand for flexible, tech-enabled recruitment.

  • The platform specializes in empowering women recruiters and student interns nationwide.

  • EarlyJobs blends AI-driven processes with human oversight for precise, scalable hiring.

  • Its leadership team combines expertise across HR, technology, operations, and business strategy.

  • With nationwide expansion underway, EarlyJobs aims to facilitate 1 million job opportunities monthly by 2027.

India’s recruitment landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, and EarlyJobs is at the forefront. Launched by a diverse founding team, EarlyJobs has grown from the roots of Victaman—a youth-focused initiative—into a scalable recruitment platform now partnering with some of India’s top enterprises.

What sets EarlyJobs apart is its dual mission: empowering women returning to work and providing real-world HR experience to students, while solving hiring challenges for companies through advanced tech and human touch.

The Genesis: From Victaman to EarlyJobs

Saurav Kumar’s original venture, Victaman, focused on youth empowerment with services ranging from software development to recruitment. As Victaman gained visibility, it became a magnet for applications—especially from women professionals seeking to rejoin the workforce and students hungry for internships.

However, Victaman’s structure lacked the tools and processes to manage large-scale hiring effectively. This gap revealed an urgent market need: a recruitment platform designed to support flexible hiring, freelance recruiters, and scalable operations.

That insight led to the creation of EarlyJobs—a platform built to empower freelance recruiters (especially women), offer student internships, and meet corporate hiring demands with precision and flexibility.

A Founding Team Built for Impact

Unlike many startups with single-discipline founders, EarlyJobs was built by professionals with deep experience across technology, human resources, operations, and business development.

Their combined knowledge allows EarlyJobs to tackle hiring from multiple angles—technology, human resources, operational logistics, and market strategy.
