Joel, thanks for the chat this morning; after all these years knowing each other, I can still trust you with doing the right thing for the industry. Yes all – I’m not going anywhere and am continuing to work with our dev team to continue to improve our ATS/CRM mining for future employees. With the investors completely committed to supporting Crowded’s platform as well as expanding our product suite that solve the problems that recruiting organizations know they have, know the potential impact of solving these problems, but are scratching their heads on how to solve them, we’re going to be the secret sauce that feeds purple squirrel hunting for many moons to come.
If you have questions, I can be reached at steve@crowded.com. Oh, and my understanding there’s going to be a Chad & Cheese Podcast coming up soon – happy to come on board if you want.
I guess they’re less crowded now.
I wanted to post an animated .gif of The Mask shaking it as Cuban Pete with his maracas, but alas, no animated .gifs here (step up your game Disqus!). That said, the Crowded product / offering is the best it’s ever been, the team is solid, and I’m sure they are going to absolutely crush it in 2019. Excited to see where they can take it.
