TopDev launches AI/Computer Vision technology helping connect businesses with the unemployed due to COVID-19

Leave a comment

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When accessing https://covid.topdev.vn, companies will approach a list of candidates finding jobs associated with their CVs. And only with a few keystrokes of keywords or filters can output candidates’ results that match their requirements. As a result, candidates and companies can connect with each other securely.

COVID-19 is the main cause of mass layoffs owning to businesses’ downsizing, dissolution, and staff reduction. In the US, just 1 month after the outbreak, more than 400 startups have announced to let go of more than 50,000 jobs. This number is just a tip of the iceberg since it only counts tech startups in Silicon Valley (Source: https://layoffs.fyi).

In Vietnam, according to a recent survey by TopDev (https://topdev.vn/Eng_TopDevReportHR2020_Covid19.pdf), up to 34% of businesses are downsizing, costs- and staff-cutting to survive the risk of bankruptcy until the vaccine is invented. There is never been a better time need to have solutions helping the jobless with the most common one is to publicly list the employees who have lost their jobs so that other businesses can recruit. However, this leads to the disclosure of personal information like phone number or email address, and obviously, a bait for cybercriminals. Besides, insufficient information about education, skills, experience and others often shown in candidates CVs, also causes obstacles for businesses to choose the right one.

TopDev expects that this project will help 100,000 people find new jobs
TopDev expects that this project will help 100,000 people find new jobs

With a different approach, using AI to automatically hide the contact information in candidates’ CVs helps ensure personal information privacy while still maintaining the aesthetic features and other candidates’ distinctive details. Also, with an automated connection platform, businesses will be able to evaluate as well as find the right candidates. AI technology which scans and hides personal information in PDF files was developed by CEO Nguyen Huu Binh from a hobby project (project based on personal interest) that he has pursued for 3 years, and the outcome is the exact identification ability whether the CV was created from any tool or service. Mr. Binh said: “We have used the latest advances in recognition technology so this solution can function correctly with myriad CVs designs. Because it is extremely complicated to ensure the original design and to locate the information, using new technology helps them best express what they have while ensuring personal information security in the process of finding new jobs”.

The solution was created with an aim of helping unemployed people find a new job as quickly as possible, while candidates are guaranteed with the standards of content, format, personal information security, opening a new era of finding jobs many times faster than before. Currently, this CV-publicized system is in its most advanced security conditions within the recruiting technology sector in Vietnam and the world. Additionally, employers from organizations/businesses also can benefit as well. When looking for candidates, they want a list arranged in a clear, logical order and easy-to-use format. From TopDev’s solution, it not only helps job seekers reach employers faster, but employers also have a new platform to easily search for professional and potential candidates.

However, this project is considered as a risky move. “Because this solution is completely free, there are potential risks affecting the company’s revenue, however, when facing the fact that 34% of enterprises are cutting costs, downsizing and laying off employees, also with the desire to support the society and the community, I received encouragement from the board of directors as well as from my subordinates to deploy this project devotedly”, Mr. Nguyen Huu Binh said. Besides those worries, even during the peak of covid-19 outbreak this Vietnam-based IT recruiting startup TopDev still got a seven-digit deal investment from Korean recruiting company SaraminHR earlier this February.

Jakarta-Based Home of Wellbeing Rumah Remedi Held #stayathome Meditations During the Pandemic

Leave a comment
  • Regular meditation sessions were free of charge from mid of March until the end of April 2020.
  • By migrating the sessions from offline to online, Rumah Remedi managed to reach individuals residing in various places in Indonesia who needed help during the pandemic.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In line with the government’s stay-at-home order, Rumah Remedi decided to migrate all regular meditation sessions from offline to online. This is one of the ways to support their mission in sharing positive energy and kindness during the pandemic.

Rumah Remedi held free meditation sessions for 45 days to help everyone going through the discomforts during the uncertain COVID-19 virus pandemic

One of the leading programs of Remedi Indonesia as the parent company of Rumah Remedi is the Stress Release session that has been held every Tuesday since 2011. In this dharma session, the participants are encouraged to release any discomfort they experience with the help of two facilitators, with the objective to provide the participants with a new life skill that is useful in periods of stress.

Another regular session that could be accessed free of charge by the public was Wellbeing Wednesday. Held every Wednesday, this session has the objective to expose the limiting beliefs that prevent the participants from living to the fullest. There is also Circle of Trust session every Saturday; a safe circle in which participants can conveniently share their stories to help them feel relieved.

Remedi Indonesia is located in Bangka Raya, Kemang, South Jakarta and founded by Ferry Fibriandani (Founder, Corporate Coach & Advisor, Psychotherapist) and Siti Banu Intan (Co-Founder, Psychotherapist, Energy Psychology Practitioner) in 2011. As a home of wellbeing, Rumah Remedi offers various personal or corporate wellbeing and meditation programs aiming to maintain the harmony between the mind, heart, body and soul.

“Rumah Remedi held free sessions for 45 days to help everyone going through the discomforts during the uncertain COVID-19 virus pandemic. The decision of making them free was based on the consideration to empower more people through a life skill to release stress and preserve peace of mind. We have also been contacted by a group of journalists requesting us to elaborate on mindfulness and stress release techniques. It was a pleasure to share this with the media because it allowed us to reach more people on how important it was to maintain peace of mind by releasing unpleasant feelings and emotions,” explained Ferry.

Offline-to-online migration to reach Indonesians with Internet access who needed assistance in balancing their mind, body and soul during the #stayathome period was proven to be effective. There was an increase in the number of participants, coming from different places in Indonesia, starting from Bali, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Balikpapan, Samarinda, to Purwokerto. There was even a participant living in Switzerland. Prior to this, Rumah Remedi only reached those residing in Jakarta, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi. “This condition yielded a significant increase in the number of participants, if compared to the offline activities before the pandemic,” said Ferry on the increase in the number of participants.

There were companies who needed stress release sessions, as their employees were not accustomed to performing office tasks from home. According to Ferry, they also shared the knowledge on mindfulness and stress release to corporations and government institutions, with the intention to empower every individual through the necessary life skill that allow them to adapt with myriads of changes occurring in numerous aspects of life as an impact of the pandemic.

In addition to these regular programs, Rumah Remedi tried to reach more individuals on the importance of self-care and self-love through an episode on their podcast channel Selaras Dalam Nafas (Harmony in the Breath) called “21 Hari Damai (21 Days Peacefulness Invitation)”. “After following the audio guidance in this podcast episode for 21 days, the listener may end up gaining the new habit and life skill to navigate a mindful life,” said Ferry at the end of the conversation.

After a period of free regular sessions, Rumah Remedi also held a live program entitled THR Cinta or Tips Harian Remedians Penuh Cinta (Daily Remedians Tips with Love) that could be accessed by the public on Instagram. The program discussed a variety of topics everyday and was hosted by Junior Facilitators hailing from different backgrounds. Through this program, the audience was also invited to participate in the fundraising that was channeled to those in needs, especially people who were badly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dreame Launched “#We Are Together” Online Activity For Spreading Positivity During this Special Time

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, May 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the leading female fiction reading & writing platform Dreame is holding an online activity “#We Are Together” to encourage people to remain optimistic and grateful during this hard time.

“#We Are Together” online activity is aimed at encouraging people to show support and love to those who have suffered during the pandemic. In just three weeks, more than 2.5 million people participated in the activity across different platforms, while thousands of pictures and encouraging words have been shared by people from all over the world. By sharing the same wish of “We Are Together”, participants of this activity got to know many stories of healthcare workers.

Many of the Dreame authors are also healthcare workers who are working on the frontline. During the outbreak, Dreame was checking on those authors to make sure they were doing well and to offer help when needed. Therefore, Dreame prepared special gift packs for them as a gesture of gratitude.

Meanwhile, Dreame has shared their stories of those working on the frontline with lots of Dreame readers, which has been widely recognized.

Larose is a doctor who works hard on the fight of COVID-19. She’s also an excellent author who has written many intriguing stories. She said: “Fighting on the frontlines is stressful. Writing is my gateway”.

After learning their stories, readers on Dreame have shown interest in the stories written by these healthcare workers. Due to the quarantine, many people have less entertainment, and reading can be a good choice. Reading those frontline fighters’ fiction can inspire and strengthen readers’ hearts.

“We are together! To fight the current pandemic, please stay safe, please adhere to the precautions and we shall be victorious,” a participant said in a social media post to spread her positive energy. “Let’s stay at home to support our key workers and read books to light up the stay-home mood.”

When conceiving this activity, Dreame hoped to create more positive energy together. People need to support each other in the face of hardship, and the process of sharing is also a process of constantly helping each other to strengthen the confidence and brighten the heart.

As always, Dreame will continue to provide readers with superior reading entertainment with diverse and high-quality book choices. Dreame will also continue to help authors enrich harvests from their works by providing professional and premium author services.
