According to Deloitte’s research in 2016, talent acquisition is one of the disruptive trends in Human Resource technology in the future. The market potential is huge. Coupled with the prediction that in 2025, Indonesia will face the demographic bonus era. On the other hand, another three years experienced a labor crisis of 56%. Departing from that trend, Putra Nababan dared to get out of the “comfort zone” as the chief editor of Metro TV to establish IDTalent startup.
“From the experience and challenges that are and will be faced by Indonesia, make me with some colleagues created IDTalent, a container or a digital platform that can bring potential applicants to work with the needs of the company,” said the son of a senior journalist Panda Nababan this time talks with a number of media in Jakarta (4/25).
This 1974-born man spoke at length about his career in journalism and the media industry he has worked for 23 years, so he understands the challenges faced in this sector. Not only in searching, processing, and broadcast news to the public but also manage human resources in the editorial.
According to him, the industry’s toughest media challenge is to get journalists and broadcasters who have potential, especially passion in running their profession. The concern is also experienced by various business and industry sectors and even the government. As a former editor-in-chief of many associates with various circles, he often hears complaints from managers, directors to company owners to bureaucrats about the talent crisis they face.
“Most of the companies that are looking for employees are like buying a cat in a sack because they can not know the potential, passion and actual skills of the recruited employee.This is the problem that IDTalent wants to address,” said Putra.
He added that Indonesia actually benefited from getting a demographic bonus in which many productive people can boost development and support Indonesia to become a world economic power. However, Indonesia is also experiencing a quality workforce crisis that creates a wide gap between industry needs and minimal human resource supply.
Putra hope, this IDtalent presence allows companies to get the best talent from various cities in Indonesia. At the same time open opportunities for every applicant to follow the selection in any company. It also helps Indonesia become a superior and competitive nation among other nations by presenting more talents in the industrial world, not just workers.

The embryo of the startup founded by Putra Nababan and two of his colleagues has actually emerged since two years ago. They draft the concept, map the problem, create the algorithm, and so on.

There is a feature of ‘job matching’ which allows the company to be more confident in the prospective partner. Because it will suit the needs of the company with the ability of prospective employees.
Other services that also do not exist on other job sites in Indonesia are face to face interviews online. Interviews are conducted by selected Recruiter and specially trained by IDTalent. The chosen recruiter is a professional who has experience and competence in conducting the interview process.
