What WeNetwork does

WeNetwork is a privately-held recruitment and talent solutions firm founded in 2020 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and operated by four co-founders — Antonio Mazza, Sean Chen, Karina Saridewi (CEO), and Stephanie Leong. The firm has scaled from a 5-person founding team to a headcount of 51–100 employees and now operates 7 offices across the Asia-Pacific region, with headquarters in Jakarta, a regional hub in Singapore, and additional offices in Tokyo, Ho Chi Minh City, Sydney/Melbourne, Bangkok (opened October 2024), and Kuala Lumpur (opened 2025 as its 7th location).

The company delivers four primary service lines: Contingent Recruitment (database and network-driven talent identification on success fees), Executive Search / Retainer Assignment (structured, data-backed targeted search for senior mandates), Business Consultancy (organizational structural change advisory), and Value Added Services (a suite including virtual career fairs, technical assessments, background checks, onboarding, brand advisory, corporate finance and fractional C-level support, expatriate relocation, payroll, and HRM software, delivered through a partner network that includes SeeMeCV, HackerTrail, Darwinbox, Verum Consulting, Upperground, Empwr.ed, and Populix). The firm also operates supporting initiatives — AyoPulang! (a returning-talent program for overseas-educated Indonesians), WeRaise, the WeTalk podcast, and the annual Tech Talent Confidence Index research report.

WeNetwork's go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, targeting multinational corporations, local conglomerates, family businesses, and private equity/venture capital firms across functional disciplines including Finance & Accounting, Technology, Sales & Marketing, Legal, HR, Supply Chain, and C-Level Management. Revenue is generated through transaction-based contingency fees, retainer subscriptions for executive search, and professional services fees for consultancy and value-added offerings. The firm has no disclosed external funding, operates as an independent founder-led entity, and has shown consistent geographic and headcount expansion over a 5-year horizon.
