What GetWork does

GetWork, legally Veerwal GetWork Services Private Limited, is an India-based SaaS fresher-hiring platform founded in October 2018 by Rahul Veerwal, Sumit Gupta and Pallavi Hirwani — all MNNIT Allahabad alumni — and headquartered in Gurugram with a secondary Delhi office and a Switzerland outpost. The platform targets the employability gap facing Indian graduates, particularly from tier 2 and tier 3 colleges, by connecting candidates with employers and colleges through a free-to-candidate, subscription-and-outcome-based employer model. GetWork claims a network of 18,000+ college partners, 4.5M+ active candidates, 10,000+ hiring companies and 60,000+ students placed to date.

The core technology is a Ruby on Rails SaaS platform anchored on a differentiated product called Live Hiring Rooms — a real-time video interview module enabling instant candidate-HR matching, with the company reporting an average 3.5-hour time-to-hire and same-day offers. Supporting AI-powered modules include a candidate recommendation engine, an AI resume builder with ATS optimization, AI-powered mock interview practice with real-time feedback, and AIcademy — a placement-guaranteed course vertical covering Data Science and HR Management. Distribution is multi-modal: a self-serve web platform, iOS and Android apps (GetWork OneApp), an enterprise field-sales team for Fortune 500 clients, an inside-sales motion for SMB employers, and a college-partnership channel routed through Training & Placement Officers.

Commercially, GetWork is free for candidates and monetizes through (a) employer subscription plans (monthly INR-tied and annual), (b) pay-per-use profile unlock credits (INR 8,000 per 100 unlocks per month), (c) outcome-based Hire for Sure Plans with 60-day TAT and replacement guarantees, (d) Test Pins unit pricing (INR 399 per pin), (e) AIcademy course fees against placement outcomes of ₹8–15 LPA, and (f) college subscriptions for campus placement management. Named enterprise customers include Tata Capital, Motilal Oswal, Sharekhan, Zomato, Blinkit, Home Credit India, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Tata Consultancy Services, Genpact, Flipkart, Axis Bank, Policybazaar, Wipro and Honeywell. The company has raised a disclosed ~₹9 Crores (~$1.16M) across a pre-seed (2020), a seed led by Artha Venture Fund (March 2021) and a Pre-Series A led by Samarthya Investment Advisors, NVS Wealth Managers and Artha Venture Fund (February 2023).

• Indeed India: Global job search engine with substantial Indian operations across all experience levels. Competes for employer job-posting spend and could expand aggressively into fresher hiring given global scale and capital.
