“You need to know how to quantify your social impact and be accountable for it.”
Xania Wong, Founder of JOBDOH, is a powerful influence in the employment and financial tech industries, matching able and willing people to the appropriate positions for their needs using AI.
Today we meet the founder of JOBDOH, Xania Wong, who was named Global Innovator, was a finalist for the Cartier Women’s Initiative and has won many other awards for her achievements. We met Xania the first time all the way back in Episode 8, recorded in autumn of 2016 and we were thrilled to find out how she has grown her impact and team, taking JOBDOH to new markets in the region.
In this episode, you will learn about…
- How Xania was able to forge her way into Southeast Asia, starting with the first stop; Myanmar.
- An exciting new project that will help employers stretch their payroll cash flow and help employees get paid faster.
- The reality of the emotional aspect of founding a business and the challenges and successes that brings.
Xania and her 12 person team are thoughtfully assisting their users to pursue their potential in the working industry. They really have thought of it all with their complete triangle consisting of 3 points:
- Job Placement
- Financial Assisting
- Upscaling User’s Skillsets
They are working with single parents with limited time/schedules, the elderly who need to ‘taste test’ different industries to know which to pursue, and any person who needs temporary work, whether that be for a week or just a couple of months.
In regards to making an impact Xania said:
“What we actually need to do is to understand your users…. What kind of changes are you making in their lives?”
Even through unpredictable setbacks such as blackouts in Myanmar and the conflict in Hong Kong, JOBDOH is still able to provide users with remote and physical jobs because of their diverse network.
“Go to your place, by yourself, and think about ‘what’s your purpose in life?’ And see what kind of legacy you want to leave when you leave the earth.”
