Introduction
We were hoping this day we’ll come and it’s now a reality - we’re proud to say nPloy has been voted Startup of the Year 2024 in Sofia, Bulgaria in the Hackernoon Startup Awards. On top of that, nPloy is among the top 10 startups in SaaS worldwide!
We’ll share a bit more about the award and what it means to us before we pop the champagne.
What’s Hackernoon Startup Awards
Hackernoon’s annual awards recognize the startups that are changing the world one innovation at a time. The most important thing is that it’s a community driven initiative that celebrates technology. With over 151.4k startups from almost 3000 cities from 98 industries, this year’s edition was indeed grand. The campaign started back in October 2024 and the winners were determined based on over 4.3 million votes.

How did we get here
The short answer is curiosity, dedication and “What’s the worst that could happen?” attitude towards bringing ideas to life.
When it comes to disrupting a process that by default is taken as hard and boring, we need a mix of new technologies (such as artificial intelligence) and the right amount of bravery needed to speak up and ditch the sugarcoating. We’re lucky to have a community that sees the professional world as we do and we want to thank everyone that helped us get here.
Since 2018, our user base has grown immensely and we’re expected to go even further. By embracing AI, going global and expanding our job pool to include international and remote job listings, we’re in line with what people want most - flexibility and stress-free recruitment.
What being voted Startup of the Year 2024 means to us
Since day one, we've stood on the frontlines of transforming how people find meaningful work and how companies find talent that actually fits. Winning HackerNoon’s Startup of the Year is more than a milestone. It’s a nod to the thousands of hours we’ve put in to rebuild recruitment from the ground up. Being recognized for our efforts to modernize recruitment technology by bringing AI to the process is a great motivation for us to keep going and make AI recruiting tools the standard.
Along the way, we’ve learned that innovation is all about understanding people, improving the process, making it faster, more efficient, and most importantly fair - this is the reason why one of nPloy’s main features is anonymous recruitment, which reduces unconscious bias and ensures transparency in recruitment. We’re constantly updating and improving our platform to ensure meaningful connections and break down geographical barriers. Our goal is to make it easier for people to find the right jobs and for companies to discover top talent, regardless of where they are.
What’s next for nPloy
We’re eager to keep pushing boundaries, this time literally - nPloy will keep expanding on new markets, making meaningful connections between candidates and employers from all over the world.
We’re striving to set a new industry standard for what hiring should feel like - as we like to say, it’s time to make job searching and hiring not just easier, but enjoyable.
No matter where we’re headed, one thing’s for sure - we’ll keep on listening to our audience, keep building a community and make them feel a part of the journey. And we truly believe that the best is yet to come.
