Founder & CEO Jobful
Like every other person, Mihai Cepoi, the founder of Romanian recruitment platform Jobful, has been through some very unpleasant experiences in the process of applying for a job.

So he decided to create a platform focused on human talent, where people could gain motivation. The idea for Jobful, the first gamified recruitment platform in Romania, came from Mihai's desire to create a place where people could enjoy the process of applying for a job, with the best outcome for the business as well.
The young entrepreneur has a background in enterprise sales and presales, and HR. He used to work at SAP where he was appointed MVP for HR sales. In 2018 he left to be fully in charge of Jobful.
