Two years after purchasing\u00a0everjobs.com<\/strong> and work.com.mm<\/strong>,\u00a0Rocket Internet<\/a> has decided to officially close\u00a0<\/strong>these job boards in Bangladesh and Myanmar<\/strong>. After years of leading the way in the South East recruitment market, everjobs.com and work.com.mm no longer exist. With this in mind, the Jobboard Finder is here to show recruiters and job seekers alternative platforms. Read on!<\/p>\n

\"\"What is Rocket Internet? What are the alternatives for finding job offers and recruiting in Bangladesh and in Myanmar?<\/p>\n

Rocket Internet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rocket Internet<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a German company especialised in the investment and launching of international online businesses.\u00a0Founded in 2007 by the Samwer brothers, <\/strong>this\u00a0Berlin-based company is now valued at 3.8 billion Euros<\/strong>\u00a0and has more than\u00a020,000 employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rocket Internet<\/strong>\u00a0has invested in companies in over 100 countries and in a broad range of industries. From Fashion (Zalando<\/a>), Beauty (Glossybox<\/a>) and Homeware (WestWing<\/a> and Home24<\/a>). From Travel, Online Food and Groceries Delivery (HelloFresh<\/a>) to General Merchandise.<\/p>\n

\"\"Rocket Internet<\/strong>‘s business model aims to transform young start-ups<\/strong> into multimillion dollar businesses<\/strong> to then sell them at a profit.\u00a0Even though the original idea was to create start-ups, this Berlin-based company is now known for being a “clone factory<\/strong>“. Rocket Internet<\/a> takes high profitable business ideas (mainly from the US), creates replicas and takes them to new and fast-growing markets. Their business model is very unique and provides start-ups with immediate\u00a0 access to capital and operational and business insight.<\/p>\n

They have invested and continue to invest in emerging countries in Africa<\/strong> (Jumia in Nigeria) and Asia<\/strong> (Foodpanda). There are no official reasons<\/strong> as to\u00a0why Rocket Internet has decided to shut down both job boards in Bangladesh and Myanmar. However, the problem may be caused by a number of recent challenges. Some of these include failed investments, the departure of founding members and the loss of shareholders (last year,\u00a0the Swedish investment company Kinnevik<\/a>, sold half of its shares (6%)).\u00a0Consequently,\u00a0Rocket Internet<\/strong>‘s credibility has been affected and many investors question its business model.<\/p>\n
