What Kazokku does

Kazokku (legally PT. Karisma Zona Kreatifku) is an Indonesian IT staffing specialist that places contract software developers, engineers, and AI specialists at Indonesian companies. Founded in 2012 as an application, website, and system development firm, the company pivoted in 2017 to become a dedicated IT staffing provider and entered its current 'AI-Powered Staffing' phase in 2025. As of 2026 it has served 55+ companies across banking and financial services, IT, insurance, e-commerce, education, and government/BUMN verticals, with a cumulative 1.25K+ IT talents placed and a 10.3K+ CV database sourced from the live Indonesian IT talent market rather than a static internal pool. Headquartered at WTC 5, Jl. Jenderal Sudirman, South Jakarta, the firm operates as a privately held Indonesian limited liability company (NIB 8120015211446) with 51–100 internal staff.

The core offering, Jasa Outsourcing Talenta IT, is built around an AI-Powered Talent Matching engine and a Just-in-Time Sourcing methodology. The platform executes a five-step workflow — consultation, market sourcing, 3-day CV recommendation, client interview, and onboarding — augmented by automated candidate sourcing that the company states reduces manual screening time by up to 70%. Each candidate passes through a 3-layer consultant-led verification (plus an IT technical assessment) before being scored on a per-skill fit basis. Role-based service modules cover Backend, Frontend, Fullstack, Mobile, AI/LLM, DevOps, QA, Business Analyst, UI/UX, Project Manager, and IT Security profiles, with flexible Full Remote, On-site, or Hybrid engagement models.

Commercially, Kazokku bills clients an all-inclusive monthly fee per placed talent, tiered by experience: Junior Rp 13–15M, Middle Rp 16–18M, and Senior Rp 19–25M+ (approximately $800–$1,500 USD), with the fee covering salary, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and Kesehatan, PPh 21, THR, and a KAZOKKU management fee. Contracts carry a 3-month minimum, a 14-day payment term, optional Temp-to-Hire conversion (one month invoice as conversion fee), and a free unlimited replacement guarantee valid throughout the active contract. The company is sales-led, consultative, and operates exclusively through direct digital channels (website contact form, WhatsApp Business, phone, email), with cross-referral arrangements to sister brands LOGIQUE (cybersecurity) and dokodemo-kerja (HRIS), and the candidate-facing site talenta-it.com.
