During my tenure at Jobster, I never got to do what I had set out to do with Jobby– create a tool that small and medium businesses could use to make hiring people less of a pain in the backside. I don’t blame Jobster a bit– with $48 million in venture capital, you have to swing for the fences and go where there are vast piles of money to be had… Which means you start at the enterprise level and work your way down or start on the consumer level and work your way up (Jobster is doing both!).
When you have $0 in venture capital, the same rules don’t apply, however. I think there is a really serious need for software to serve companies in the 5-200 employee range– companies that don’t have the time or the budget to endure the painful ATS market that’s out there right now.
That’s why I was glad to see that Kirkland Rails God Ben Curtis has been building some snazzy recruiting software between his consulting gigs. I’ve seen a sneak preview and it looks SHARP.
If you’re a hiring manager (but can’t stomach the complexity and cost of the ATS scene), head on over to CatchTheBest and sign up to hear about the launch!
