Remember when there where no job boards? Remember when you had to manually write and post them to the boards once they came out? Do you remember when this little start up came out of the blue and had this brilliant idea of distributing jobs for you! This was one of those Warren Buffet worthy businesses - so simple, so elegant and going to grow grow and grow.. Well 19th years later - eQuest is still growing and doing great things!
Now they are doing 5 million job postings a week!
And at 19 years old, what are they doing? Probably what any college age kid at 19 would be doing - figuring out how to tackle and change the world. They have come to the realization that they have a lot of data, in fact, over 1 billion records of jobs. They hired a new VP of Big Data, a great guy named David Bernstein, who is helping craft the charge for how to change the HR landscape using this data. I had the pleasure to interview him over the holiday break and I will be posting that in my next article.
But in the meantime - join me in congratulating @eQuest on a great 19 years!
