The Silver Lining of the 2020 Pandemic
Founded in 2020, NKR launched NKR Recruit as an external recruiting agency for a BPO company during the second quarter of the pandemic. At the time, U.S. academia and many businesses were unprepared for the sudden shift to remote work, creating an urgent need for reliable remote workforce solutions. In response, we deployed over 800+ Virtual Proctors within a span of four months, supporting multiple universities across the United States and ensuring continuity of examinations without disruption. During its first two years, NKR Recruit maintained a close and exclusive partnership with the BPO company while reaching significant milestones early on.
NKR Recruit optimized its end-to-end recruitment process through technology, redesigning it for a fully remote environment. By removing unnecessary interactions and automating requirement submissions, we significantly increased efficiency and precision. By the time candidates reach the initial interview, they are already highly filtered, with a 96% match rate for progression to the next stages.
What started with Filipino Virtual Proctors supporting the U.S. workforce rapidly evolved into a global recruitment operation within six months of establishment. NKR Recruit expanded talent capabilities to support multilingual staffing across global markets, delivering premium candidates fluent in Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, Spanish, French, and German.
Within its first two years, NKR Recruit scaled its talent network from zero to over 3,000 vetted profiles, establishing a strong and continuously growing global talent pipeline. Through strategic outsourcing partnerships, NKR Recruit has supported remote staffing initiatives for leading institutions and global organizations, including American universities and enterprise clients such as Intel, Facebook, and Dropbox.
NKR Recruit has enabled businesses to effectively leverage their workforce through virtual recruitment solutions. We have access to top-tier talents in the Philippines across various industry verticals and offer a range of hiring options suitable for early-stage startups as well as businesses looking to expand their workforce.
At a pivotal moment in NKR’s journey, our founder, IN, sought and received the blessing of the BPO company to establish NKR as an independent organization. This marked the beginning of NKR as an independent business.
In the same year, 2022, we expanded our offerings by founding NKR Digital in response to the growing demand for cost-effective and high-converting digital marketing solutions for SMBs, Entrepreneurs, and Solopreneurs. NKR Digital is a full-suite digital marketing agency that provides a wide range of services, seamlessly blending aesthetic and technology. Our mission is to help businesses gain the competitive edge necessary to grow their businesses through effective digital marketing strategies.
Today and Beyond: NKR’s Dual Focus
To date, NKR proudly offers two strong lines of business: NKR Digital, focusing on comprehensive Digital Marketing solutions, and NKR Recruit, which has evolved to prioritize Virtual Staffing over traditional recruiting. This dual focus allows us to cater to the diverse needs of SMBs, Entrepreneurs, and Solopreneurs, providing them with the tools and talent necessary to succeed in a competitive market. Our continued dedication to innovation, quality, and client satisfaction ensures that NKR remains a trusted partner for businesses worldwide.
