What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
As I have mentioned earlier, my background is international development and humanitarian assistance. I don't have any business experience. I would like to get some help with developing a good business plan and getting started. I would appreciate some suggestions regarding how to better understand the market and do some financial forecasting for the coming few years.
About my venture
I am currently based in Timor-Leste. I have been working here for nearly 7 years (+10 years overall). Over these years one of the biggest challenge that I have had as a hiring manager is to get the job postings well-published and connect with the right candidates. As a frustrated hiring manager, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to have access to a large directory of candidates and be able to get the applications online and set the appointments and interviews through the portal. My business idea is to start a jobs portal (mainly in the local language) where I will initially only be charging the recruiters a membership fee for the different packages. I don't want to charge the candidate, at least not initially, as I would like to get a good number of candidates on my portal. I have been working in the international development sector for the last 10 years so I don't much about establishing a business which is why I am here. Looking forward to starting our conversations.
