“One of our key
responsibilities at Hush is to deliver authentic data to employees about
various organisations so as to help them take better career decisions. The app
is also helping employees voice their opinions anonymously about issues that
they are facing in corporates, which provides valuable insights to employers
and helps them take important business decisions,” Ashutosh Dabral, Co-Founder
of Hush commented.

Hush entered the
market to tackle the growing need for employees to express their real opinions,
discuss pressing concerns, and pose difficult questions on topics that are
important to them on a common platform. As a lot of discussions on the platform
were about salary levels and career growth, Hush launched the new modules on
their website to better address user needs. The Hush platform now has
communities from 300+ companies and reliable salary data for 700+ companies
sourced from employees, HR professionals, and recruitment consultants. The
company is also building a large scale machine learning model to predict salary
levels and help people evaluate what salary they will be able to get based on
their skill levels. It also provides career advice to employees via a network
of experts.
