OUR MISSION

Breaking Down Borders in Global Recruitment

We empower world-class Indian talent and leading recruiters around the world to connect and thrive together.

Our story

How It All Started

TERN's inception was a fusion of two powerful insights. Our CEO and Founder, Avinav, moved to the UK and experienced firsthand the complexities of relocation and migration. During his tenure at a prop-tech startup, he observed the acute skilled talent shortage across various sectors in the UK, Europe, and the Gulf. At the same time, he saw many talented Indian professionals struggling to find fair opportunities and often falling victim to unethical recruitment practices. This inspired the creation of TERN, an comprehensive, transparent, efficient platform designed to seamlessly connect skilled talent with recruiters, addressing the challenges faced by both sides.

What Is TERN?

TERN is on a mission to address the talent shortage problem in Europe and beyond. We are the world's first full-stack upskilling, global migration, and placement platform for skilled professionals. We make it easy for people to upskill for their dream job, migrate to the country of their choice, and be placed in a top job with a reputed employer.

TERN was named after the Arctic Tern, a little bird that undertakes a remarkable migration journey. This bird's resilience to reach its destination inspired our founder Avinav Nigam, an IIT Bombay alumnus and veteran of leading global tech firms like IMMO Capital, CARS24, and PayU. He built TERN to revolutionise international recruitment through a combination of proprietary technology, dedicated teams with a know-how of the cultures and nuances of different markets, and an unending well of empathy.
