    Building remote international teams

    Within 12 months of launching our new talent sourcing services, we had built a remote team of 20+ engineers from scratch for Indonesia's largest digital bank. We also signed a 12-month contract with a major European bank to source software engineering talent across their APAC offices

    ​We launch talent sourcing services

    Covid presented obvious challenges to our relocation model. It also, however, presented a massive opportunity. An opportunity to test the status quo (again!) and build a new suite of services that could positively impact the industry and provide optimal value to our partners

    No.1 partner for APAC unicorns

    ​By 2018 we had established partnerships with some of the fastest growing startups in the APAC. We'd built a SDET team of 10 from scratch for Grab (Singapore) and become's Canvas' go-to partner for recruiting international engineering talent

    Functionn is born

    Our founder, Neil Matthams, relocates from Singapore to Perth and launches functionn. After 15+ years of recruiting techies for some of the world's biggest companies, he decided the time was right to challenge the traditional recruitment agency model. Functionn was thus founded as a remote-first business using cutting-edge technology and talent sourcing methodologies to headhunt software engineers from emerging global markets
