We are so glad Nick Urban and Jo Avent said yes! Thanks for sharing this Jacob Paul! So good. #talentwall #crosschq
Here's a fun one for a Friday... This is the Linkedin message I sent Nick Urban 8 years ago TODAY, which was effectively the start of TalentWall™ by Crosschq 🤩 I was his recruiter at a previous company, so I knew him, but not that well. After some pestering and persuading(as recruiters do) I eventually got him on a call where my pitch to him was basically that I had no money whatsoever to fund the idea, but worse case scenario we’d have a fun side project with a real user, me! 🙋🏻♂️😉 Even though his response was ‘well there’s nothing really fun about HR Software,’ he ultimately agreed 🙏 🙏 🙏 Shortly after, Jo Avent joined and the 3 of us were off to the races...well, Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings, bc we all had other full time obligations. 8 years later, with thousands of users and an acquisition by Crosschq, we went from what was supposed to be a 'fairly simple JavaScript app’ 🤣 to a Hiring Intelligence Platform and as exciting of a roadmap as ever. Anyway, I recently printed this message out and have it on my desk to serve as a daily reminder for so many things, personal and professional, that I won't get into here :)
