Our Story
We’re from Amman, Cairo, Montreal, New York City, London, Ramallah, Dubai, Johannesburg, Warsaw, Damascus, and Charleston. We’re 1st and 2nd generation immigrants. We know what it’s like to have your heart in at least two places--where you’re from and where you live--and how important it is to connect the dots between them. We’re a distributed team for distributed times. And we want to work with you.
Our Mission
To become the #1 platform for top early-stage talent in emerging markets looking for world-class jobs.

Our Approach
Localized partners with universities and talent organizations on the one hand, and global companies on the other to connect top STEM and business graduates with industry experts and employers.

Why Localized?
While talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. You can be smart, educated, ambitious and stuck if you don’t have the right professional networks--especially in new fields like MedTech, FinTech, AI or robotics. Localized builds virtual career community on a global scale.
