Bernie Schiemer
Angel · , , Singapore · 2 investments in Asia Recruiting startups

Bernie is CEO and Founder of HiringBoss (Vincere), the #1 Gartner ranked CRM for ambitious recruitment firms. Prior to Vincere, Bernie spent 16 years as a recruitment business owner. In 2000, he co-founded James Harvard International out of London. The following year, Bernie relocated to Tokyo to establish the Asia-Pac business. He grew James Harvard Asia Pac from 3 - 115 staff in just under 6 years. In 2007, Bernie sold the James Harvard International business to Hays PLC. Combined headcount of the APAC and European businesses stood at 300+, with a turnover of $27M. Bernie successfully completed his earn-out in December 2009 as Managing Director of Hays Japan. Post earn-out, Bernie switched gears and ploughed his experiences into creating the ultimate agency CRM, Vincere...the system he wished he had when he was building his own recruitment firm. Why? He was tired of all the expensive, clunky, and disparate recruitment tools on the market. There was a clear gap in the market for a recruitment technology vendor that is Product-centric and puts the customer first. Today, Vincere has since become the emerging market-leader for the recruitment industry. Born in the Cloud, Vincere is a true SaaS, multi-tenant platform designed for recruitment businesses that are serious about scaling. The Vincere platform suite encompasses 5 out-of-the-box products covering the needs of front/middle/back office operations: core CRM / ATS, Engagement Hub, Communication Hub, TimeTemp & Analytics.
