We Got Rejected.
So We Built Nxtjob.
Nxtjob wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born from 137 unanswered job applications, two scam interviews, and one very simple belief: finding work shouldn't feel like screaming into the void.
“I spent 3 months applying to 137 jobs. I got 4 replies. Two were scams. The other two ghosted me after the first interview. That's when I realized — the system isn't broken for employers. It's broken for everyone.”
Bryan Kow
Founder & CEO, Nxtjob
From Frustration to Platform
The Frustration
Bryan applied to 137 jobs across JobStreet and LinkedIn in 3 months. Got 4 replies. Two were scams. The system was broken, and no one was fixing it.
The Question
"What if AI could read a resume the way a human would — but in seconds? And what if it could match BOTH ways, so companies find YOU?" Bryan started building the first prototype in his bedroom in Kuala Lumpur.
The Breakthrough
The auto-scheduling engine worked. For the first time, a candidate was matched, scored, and had an interview booked — all without a single email. Total time: 47 hours from signup to interview.
The Mission Begins
Nxtjob launched in Malaysia and Singapore. Not as another job board, but as the first AI recruitment platform where the matching never stops and the interviews schedule themselves.

Our Values
Matches, Not Listings
We don't dump 500 jobs on your screen. We find the 5 that actually fit you — and tell you exactly why.
Speed Is Respect
Every day a candidate waits is a day of uncertainty. Every day an employer waits is money lost. We refuse to let humans sit in queues.
Both Sides Matter
Most platforms serve employers and treat candidates as inventory. We build for both — because a great match requires two happy parties.
AI With Transparency
Our AI doesn't hide behind a black box. You see your match score, the breakdown, and the reasoning. Trust is earned through clarity.
Small Team. Big Mission.
We're a lean team of builders who believe the best products come from people who've felt the pain firsthand.

Mei Lin
Head of AI
Former data scientist who built matching algorithms at scale. Believes AI should explain itself.
Arif Rahman
Head of Product
Ex-recruiter who knows exactly why traditional hiring is broken. Now fixing it from the other side.
Our Mission
We believe everyone deserves to find work that fits — not just work that pays. And we believe technology should make that faster, fairer, and more human.
We're building the future where no resume goes unanswered, no talent goes unseen, and no interview takes a week to schedule.
