About 60 former staff of the employment website were hired under the Singapore government's Tech for Public Good initiative.

In view of the competition for tech talent, GovTech said it took"a more agile hiring approach that balances speed with responsible hiring", when it came to these employees.

It pointed to the Tech for Public Good initiative offering job opportunities in government. The initiative was launched by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Group in 2022, as there were mass lay-offs then. "With Indeed's closure of one of their Singapore offices, we saw a unique opportunity to hire some of their intact and functioning engineering teams to work on the two priorities," said GovTech.
