ERE - the biggest name in recruiting - just published the first organic media piece we've gotten for Dreamwork, the platform that effectively launched here + /sideproject on Reddit.
---
Backstory tl;dr is that Indeed fired my wife when she was 7 months pregnant, so I built a competing platform out of spite. I posted about it on Reddit and got our first 2,000 users.
For the people who commented that the story was fake, you'll be happy to know he did his DD before publishing.
ERE — basically THE trade publication the entire recruiting industry reads — just ran a piece on how Indeed's search has quietly gotten worse and who's trying to fix it. We're one of two startups they named, and the founder/CEO wrote it himself.

Just wanted to keep the community up to date, given this is where it all started.
