Problem
Creative studios hiring abroad face significant friction when trying to post jobs on local boards in foreign markets. Requirements like a locally recognized company, a local phone number for verification, a business number, moderator approval in the local language, and payment in local currency block most foreign employers from accessing these talent pools.
Solution
Elsewhere removes these barriers by holding verified advertiser accounts on local job boards in each supported market. Studios write their job description in English, select which countries and boards to post to, and Elsewhere handles translation, posting, and payment of board fees. The platform also ranks applicants by portfolio fit: studios upload reference images or video, and Elsewhere's matching system pulls candidates' portfolios from links they provide and scores them by visual similarity. All applicants from different boards appear in one searchable, filterable pipeline with stages like New, Reviewing, Shortlisted, Interview, and Hired.
Target Audience
Primary customers are creative studios and agencies hiring remotely or internationally, particularly those seeking talent in Central Asian markets like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, with 13 additional markets planned.
