TopCV

What TopCV does

TopCV is a Vietnamese HR Tech company founded in 2014 (operating since 2016 per firmographic data) and headquartered in Hanoi, with a secondary office in Ho Chi Minh City. It operates a dual-sided marketplace connecting more than 9 million registered job seekers with over 200,000 employer customers across industries including banking, real estate, IT-software, finance, retail-FMCG, manufacturing, and logistics. The platform is unified around AI-powered matching via its proprietary Toppy AI engine and is supported by a four-product ecosystem: TopCV.vn (core recruitment marketplace and TopCV Pro premium tier), CV Builder 2.0 (AI-assisted CV creation across 73+ templates and four languages), HappyTime.vn (employee experience and attendance management), TestCenter.vn (employee assessment and competency testing), and SHiring.ai (enterprise recruitment automation). Integration with Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn OAuth, MoMo payments, and Zalo-based support reflects localization for the Vietnamese market.

The business model is multi-stream. On the employer side, revenue comes from transaction-based job posting fees (approximately 40,000 VND per posting before VAT), TopCV Pro employer branding subscriptions, and premium recruitment solutions. On the job seeker side, the platform is freemium, with Pro, Education, and Premium tiers offering features such as applicant count visibility and job-fit scoring. Enterprise sales target large Vietnamese conglomerates and multinationals (Samsung, Viettel, Vingroup, FPT, Techcombank) through field sales, while job seekers are acquired primarily via product-led growth, content marketing (Career Handbook blog), SEO, and a multi-channel social media presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Threads, and Zalo. TopCV monetizes its proprietary labor market data through annual salary and hiring trend reports.

The company is privately held and incorporated as Công ty Cổ phần TopCV Việt Nam (TopCV Vietnam JSC). Its most significant capital event was a Series B funding round in August 2023 led by Japan's MyNavi, estimated at over $10 million, with earlier rounds from VIC Partners (2017), Next100 Ventures and Nextrans (2019), and MyNavi (2021). Recognition includes Top 10 ICT Vietnam awards in 2021 and 2022, the Sao Khuê 2022 award for HappyTime.vn, selection for the Google for Startups Accelerator: Southeast Asia in 2020, and Make in Vietnam Digital Product 2022. Headcount is in the 251–500 range, and the platform currently lists 48,054+ active jobs with 165+ new postings daily.
