were very frustrated: “can’t find good people to hire!” • Spending a lot ($$$) on existing solutions (e.g. recruiters, attending events) • Yet not happy with results L • => Opportunity!
• Candidates from 5-6 companies only (Google, Facebook, Twitter, …) • Demand-side: • VC-backed Silicon Valley companies only • Focus => Easier to get liquidity with small amount of supply & demand
of candidates to hiring companies for limited two week periods: • gave prospective employers a reason to take action • meant that strong candidates could end up with multiple offers on the table at the same time, allowing them to compare offers better
Focused almost all their resources on attracting and improving the experience for candidates • (knowing that with the right candidates, prospective employers would follow)
Talk to lots of customers and run user research feedback sessions • Test new approaches(some which work, some which don’t) • Very data-driven(data team, make data available to entire company)
