Delivery Service 'Barogo' Doubles Employees in One Year... Focuses on Hiring Developers

90% Increase in Staff Over One Year... Expected to Surpass 300 Employees by Year-End
20% of Staff Are Developers... Additional Hiring for Development Roles Planned in Second Half

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Barogo, a startup operating a last-mile logistics IT platform (CEO Lee Taekwon), announced on the 11th that the number of headquarters employees has sharply increased by about 90% compared to last year in the first half of this year.

As of June 30, the number of Barogo employees is about 230. This is an increase of about 110 employees (92%) from around 120 at the same time last year. It is expected to exceed a total of 300 by the end of this year.

Barogo received about 1,700 applications to hire more than 50 people in the first half of this year alone. In particular, more than 20% of the total employees are developers. In the second half of the year, they plan to continue hiring developers responsible for research and development (R&D) related tasks.

As the number of employees rapidly increases, Barogo has also established a communication system to improve the corporate culture. The 'Baroup Passport' is a system where colleagues put praise stickers on a passport-shaped personal booklet, and Barogo provides rewards such as gift certificates from companies offering delivery services. If there are new systems or cultures employees want to introduce to the company, they can write notes and put them in the 'Baro Box' placed on each floor of the headquarters to publicize them.

A Barogo official emphasized, "This year's goal is to enable employees, the company, riders, hub managers, and store owners to run toward the same dream and grow together."
