KapTek Talent Hub

8 months ago, Jonah Gunter was in the US, and we had an online call for 45 minutes about Life in Armenia 💙 Now, he's relocated to Yerevan with his wife, and today we met on Saryan Street 😍 Both of us (as well as our wives) have no Armenian roots, and we now live "joyfully" in Armenia. Jonah started his company KapTek Talent Hub, which has already begun hiring talented Armenian tech professionals remotely for top-level US employers 💻 Mathew Zein English Writer Joyfully in Armenia #DigitalNomadsArmenia #RemoteWorkArmenia #LifeinArmenia

Yes, these are 100% real conversations from this week. You kinda get used to it when you're working with Armenian talent. #armeniantech #startups #founders

🚀 Tech leaders, what's your biggest challenge in building a world-class #dev team? A. Controlling costs B. Finding top talent C. Scaling quickly D. All of the above At KapTek, we're solving these challenges by tapping into Armenia's booming tech scene. Did you know? 🤔 Armenian developers are behind some of the most innovative solutions in #AI, #blockchain, and mobile app development. Comment below with your biggest hiring hurdle - let's start a conversation about smarter tech recruiting! Brownie points to any Armenians who can tell me where this picture by the talented Alexander Hovhannisyan was taken! #TechTalent #GlobalHiring #Armeniantech #Armenia

🤫 I've never built a website before, but KapTek Talent Hub's new site is looking cleannn. I can't take too much credit though. Even though I built it by myself, I had some major help from an awesome product: 10Web.io. (Thanks Arto Minasyan!!) 10Web is an AI website generator that makes WordPress site building accessible to the masses, and way more customizable than Wix or Squarespace. And the best part? 🇦🇲 It's a startup out of #Armenia! At KapTek, we talk for days about the quality of Armenian tech, but we walk the walk too, and this 10Web site is evidence of that. Because #Armeniantech and Armenian talent is seriously that phenomenal. If it weren't, you wouldn't have a couple American guys like Andrew Lott and I going out of our way to bring it to the world. This #AI website builder is just the tip of the iceberg. If you're an American or European employer interested in tapping into the community of minds that builds stuff like this, shoot me a message. We'll get you set up with your own world-class developer/marketer/anything in a matter of days. And if you're one of the brilliant, proud Armenians I'm talking about, comment and reshare this post to hit as many people as we can with the power of Armenia! P.S. This website is our V1, expect many more neat additions in weeks to come. *Link in comments and bio

That awkward moment when Armenia beats the US and EU… let's take a look at 3 areas where "the world's next tech hub" (Forbes' words, not ours) is crushing it with their #womenintech. 💥 1/3 of the tech workforce is made up of women— a relative difference of 15% more than the US rate. 💥 50-60% of applicants to Armenian university #IT departments are women 💥 Armenia is the global leader of the "Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality" action coalition in the United Nations Generation Equality Forum And these aren't just any women— they are CEOs, game-changers, and #startup masterminds that are driving Armenia to the top of the global brain trust. The world—#Armenia included— still has big steps to take toward women's representation. But let's take a second to recognize the incredible progress of Armenia and its women in tech! 👇 Tag a superstar Armenian woman in tech 🏋♀️ #armeniantech #hireremote #founders Sources: Techopedia, Grant Thornton (US), S&P Global, McKinsey & Company

What do Adobe, AMD, and NVIDIA all have in common? They've all taken advantage of the incredibly talented Armenian tech market. (So have: Oracle, Siemens, Synopsys Inc, Broadcom, Amadeus... I can keep going) Why Armenia? In addition to the obvious advantages of international work, the small Caucasus country has transformed itself over the last decade by investing heavily in its tech and education infrastructure, offering favorable tax incentives for startups, and fostering a thriving ecosystem supported by both government and diaspora initiatives. The result is a vast pool of highly skilled tech professionals who are ready to contribute. Jonah Gunter and I have been working on KapTek Talent Hub, the easiest way to tap into the talent waiting there. If you or your team are looking to fill any developer/IT/tech roles, we'd love to chat. There's a reason why Forbes called it the world's next tech hub! #armenia #armeniantech
