In 2003, what seemed so obvious to Felipe was completely unavailable—
a unique professional networking site
where users can learn about new career opportunities from people they know and trust.
He met up with his friend Rajen to come up with a plan for this yet unnamed idea. They assumed the bigger, more
established web sites would meet that market need soon so they decided to put their idea on hold. Two years later,
there still wasn't a great solution on the market and so, Cachinko was born.
• Social networking sites like
Facebook
and
MySpace
are still too informal with too much information
for career and job-related tasks.
• Professional business networking sites like
LinkedIn
are better for networking and cold calling "random
connections" than for finding or sharing candidates and jobs through actual relationships.
• As for the job boards like
Monster
and
CareerBuilder
, quantity doesn’t always equal quality.
• Even employee referral programs and typical recruiting tactics lack effective motivation and present
endless administrative hassles.
The fact is most people find jobs through people they know.
And every recruiter knows that a referral is the
"Holy Grail" of hiring. With Cachinko, companies and recruiters can attract the talent they want by better motivating
people they know (with CASH rewards) to send referrals. People can actually get paid for who they know.
Career
networking will never be the same.
Meet the Cachinko Team!
Felipe
– President & Co-founder
Having been on both sides of the hiring desk, Felipe knows firsthand how frustrating it is to look for and find a job
using traditional job boards and how time consuming and costly it is to recruit great employees. Instead of
accepting a less-than-perfect process, he masterminded a superior solution — Cachinko.com.
Known for his knack with numbers, Felipe earned a degree in Finance from the University of Texas and held both
Finance Director and CIO positions at DSLabs before pursuing his passion for starting and steering successful
companies. Thanks to Felipe’s vision and business acumen, Cachinko.com is the only site where career
networking REALLY pays.
Rajen
– Vice President & Co-founder
Rajen and Felipe have been longtime friends, so after college and working at DSLabs together, they met up to
create something great! Rajen's love of gadgetry, technology and business has driven him to lend his passion to
Cachinko. Always being motivated by products and services he'd personally want to use, he continues studying
and readying new products and services through his other endeavor, City 17.

of Wisconsin – Madison, with a degree in Molecular Biology and is currently enrolled in the MBA program at

Eric
– Talent Community Advocate, Employer Solutions
A seasoned veteran of start-ups and a “recovering” recruiter, Eric best exemplifies the concept behind Cachinko,
having found his current position through people he actually knew -– Felipe and Rajen. With his diverse 15-year
background in the recruiting, business development, marketing and sales of technology services, Eric
instinctively realized Cachinko’s ability to revolutionize the recruiting industry. As he spreads the word about how
Cachinko can help drive employee referral programs to measurable success, his voicemail and email inboxes are
often maxxed out with messages from employers anxious to put Cachinko to work.
