JobStreet is a Southeast Asian online employment company which runs an employment website of the same name. Founded in Malaysia in 1997, it is now Southeast Asia's largest online employment company, according to Forbes. JobStreet expanded its presence across the region and currently operates in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore. In November 2014, JobStreet became part of the Australian Stock Exchange-listed SEEK Limited. Envisioned to provide an automated platform for accurately matching employers and jobseekers, JobStreet was founded by Mark Chang Mun Kee as a spin-off of MOL.com in 1995. The starting capital of JobStreet was reportedly US$2.6 million back then. Prior to that, its parent company MOL AccessPortal was sold to Vincent Tan, the CEO of Berjaya Group for US$3.2 million. Conservative management helped the company sidestep the dot-com bust in 2000s. In 1999, San Francisco venture capital firm Walden International and Sumitomo Corporation Capital Asia made $1.6 million investment in the company and increased its stake in JobStreet to 30% in 2001. Walden catalyzed JobStreet's move from a start-up to a regional major market player. It urged Mark Chang to hire executives with business experience, to expand to other key Southeast Asia countries and to trim cost. More information...
