I’m back! Ok, so I haven’t actually worked at ZipRecruiter before, but I have worked with Ian, and Ward (two of the four founders) at two prior companies. So in a way it feels like coming home.
I remember Ian discussing the idea for ZipRecruiter over lunch years ago. It sounded good over tacos, but in the Internet world, ideas come and go like..well, like lunch. Flash forward to January 2012, and here I am with two former coworkers who have become good friends, working on the idea that came and flourished.
It was so exciting to watch ZipRecruiter become a success and now I am thrilled to be a part of the team as Head of Product. Essentially, I am here to figure out what our customers want/need from the service and provide an exceptional, tell-all-your-friends experience. If you love the service, have constructive criticism, want to share ideas, or just need ZipRecruiter to (fill in the blank) to make it so much better, let’s talk. Shoot an email to ken[at]ziprecruiter.com.
As I get older (not old, just older) it has become clear what’s important in my career…Working with smart people who respect one another, in a company that provides an exceptional product, where I can be challenged and have a work life balance that allows me time to spend with my wife and kids. I know it’s a lot to ask and creates a horrible run-on sentence, but guess what – I actually found it all!
