Pandologic
Customer Success Analyst
NYC
PandoLogic provides an end-to end programmatic job advertising platform that delivers a significant increase in job ad performance without any wasteful spending to maximize the ROI on your recruitment spend.
Here’s what I think they do:
My take is that they’re helping you optimize your listing across multiple job-sites. Similar to programmatic ad-buying in digital media.
This solution helps to increase the quality of candidates with some of the machine-learning/artificial intelligence they’ve been building to power the engine.
I’d think this becomes enticing to Enterprise organizations who have to fill a vast number of positions on a recurring basis.
Here’s why this job is interesting:
According to CrunchBase, PL has about $23MM in funding but they haven’t raised since 2015. I’m guessing they reached profitability early and the business has great scaling economics. That’s a good sign.
Finding great talent will be critical to businesses forever - solutions that can help find and retain talent will be a benefit (especially when they involve technology).
Not much fresh content on Glassdoor about the culture or environment; make sure to consider questions to ask about this during the interview cycle
“Ordinary” industries like recruitment don’t get sexy accolades within the press, but they’re typically nice businesses to be part of - stable, steady
