## About

Based in Seoul, South Korea, and founded in 2020, Specter Inc. operates a talent verification platform that provides companies to make hiring decisions about applicant reputation given by representatives and executives of previous employers. In December 2024, Specter raised an undisclosed amount of pre-series B funding from new investor Do Ventures, with participation from returning investor Storm Ventures. Through the company's platform, an applicant's information can be easily searched only by name and phone number, and be compared to existing reference information. The company operates Specter Inc., a profile-sharing platform for applicants written and searched by employers. Specter Inc. plans to further strengthen the objectivity of reputation by accumulating a large number of reputation data for each applicant. The company plans to use the December 2024 funding to recruit skilled professionals to enhance the quality of talent verification services tailored to the global market.
