Last year, Hirewell took on a strategic investment from Prytek. The past 8 months have been a whirlwind of growth. We’ve been heads down doing a ton. Below are some highlights:
It’s been busy. But we’ve been so busy executing our plan, I realized that WHAT the actual plan is might not be clear. Prytek has a VC (Venture Capital) arm. The VC arm invests in early-stage tech companies. They also have a corporate arm. The corporate arm builds vertically integrated, tech-enabled ecosystems. First it was ThriveDX in CyberEducation. Then Delta Capita in FinTech. Now Hirewell in Talent Solutions.
Ok, but what does that mean? Here’s a quick history lesson on recruiting:
I’ve been in the recruiting world a long time. Some firms were still faxing resumes when I started. There have been rumors of technology putting recruiters out of business for 20+ years. First, it was Monster.com. Then it was Linkedin. Then Indeed. Then Applicant Tracking Systems. Just kidding. I have never been worried about ZipRecruiter putting us out of business (love their ads though). For the last few years, there has been a lot of buzz re: AI, bots, and other cutting-edge tech that could automate the whole thing.
You know what has happened in that time? The industry has grown. A lot. The Executive Search business is a $25B industry. Staffing is several times that. And there are all kinds of tools out there. Some of them are not half bad.
No matter the innovations, people are still the most important part of the process. That’s why there are thousands of recruiter openings right now. Hiring recruiters has become as hard as hiring software engineers.
And…that’s the plan. Combine Hirewell’s high-touch services (130 recruiters and counting) with cutting-edge technology. Hire great people and arm them with the best technology out there. And if companies want that technology themselves? Great. Give us a call.
That’s the Hirewell Talent Ecosystem.
Our high-touch services, all powered by technology:
Our self-service tech:
Have a strong internal team? Our tools will help them find great talent faster. You don’t want them spending all day on Linkedin. Or posting jobs and hoping people apply.
There is a lot more to come. But in the meantime, I joined Ryan Brown on the Hirewell Daily Update to talk about it. Check it out!
It’s been a wild few years. One minute, companies can’t hire fast enough. The next, mass layoffs. Can’t find anyone to hire and mass layoffs. We’ve gone from water cooler life to fully remote to back in the office…maybe?
The real challenge? Resetting expectations. Let’s be honest—people aren’t great at that. Whether it’s job seekers or executives, at the end of the day, they’re all just… people.
