Willix Halim, Senior Vice President for Growth, Freelancer.com
"We're a marketplace for jobs"
As part of the younger generation, Willix Halim understands well what it takes to begin a startup company in an industry that attracts people in their early to mid-twenties. Freelancer.com, an outsourcing marketplace founded in Australia in 2009, provides a platform for young people to opt outside 9-to-5 jobs, earning some income from one project through another.
In Indonesia, Freelancer.com opened its branch office two years ago, and since then its Indonesian users have grown from 600,000 to 1 million. Globally, the online marketplace has more than 15 million users. "The awareness of the freelancing industry has grown significantly and Indonesia has received this idea very well," said 27-year-old Willix, who was born in Medan, North Sumatra.
