Founded in 2022, Shomvob operates a B2B job-tech and HR-tech platform that lets employers post openings, assess candidates, and manage payroll while enabling job seekers to create digital profiles, apply for roles, and access free, certificate-bearing upskilling courses. Its Android app, built in-house with machine-learning algorithms, has been downloaded more than 2 million times, processed over 6 million job applications, and now serves roughly 300,000 monthly active users out of 1.8 million registered job seekers. To date, the platform has facilitated more than 30,000 hires—about a third of them women—for over 2,000 corporate clients such as Foodpanda, Pathao, KFC, Berger, Singer, and SSL Commerz. Revenue comes from employer subscriptions (Tk 6,000 per month), placement fees equal to 80–100 % of a new hire’s first-month salary, and payroll management fees of Tk 800–1,200 per employee; the company reports six consecutive months of profitability. Shomvob collaborates with development partners like the Gates Foundation, UNICEF, Swisscontact, and Roots of Impact to deliver its skilling programs. Future plans include exporting Bangladeshi manpower to Middle Eastern markets via a tech-enabled, transparent migration process starting next year and expanding coverage to all 64 districts within three years.
