“It's a pure play SaaS. Workable is a recruiting solution for employers, mid sized companies. Mostly, we're operating all over the world. We have about 20,000 customers. What the software does is it helps you find, evaluate, and manage the whole process of hiring people.”
“We raised another 50,000,000 last summer.”
“We still have a long way to go with that. Actually, to be honest with you, we raised quite a bit for how much we're burning.”
