HireHive (YC S10) shutting down
- michaelfairley 16y agoThis is too bad. I really enjoyed the YCommonApp, and hope something fills its place.
- nicholasjbs 16y agoWe're going to keep the YCommonApp up for the time-being, but in the long run we think our new product will do better at matching YC (and other) companies with people who are good fits.
- maxdemarzi 16y agoAre you guys sticking with the Recruitment industry or is this a completely new thing?
- nicholasjbs 16y agoIt's a different product, but still in the hiring space.
- percept 16y agoWasn't there another YC company in the recruitment space that shut down a while back? Oh, it was SnapTalent (I think they wrote about their experiences, too). Is the recruitment industry just a tough nut to crack?
- nicholasjbs 16y agoJust to clarify, we're shifting focus to a new product (also in the hiring space), not shutting down.
- stympy 16y agoThe recruitment industry is a tough nut to crack.
- nicholasjbs 16y agoJust to be clear, our company isn't shutting down, we're just turning off our initial product so we can focus on a new product we're working on that we think has bigger potential.
- _pius 16y agoAwesome that you're pivoting instead of giving up ... best of luck!
- davidbalbert 16y agoThanks! We're pretty excited.
- randall 16y agoGood luck guys! I liked the idea of HireHive, but it seems like execution might have been difficult. Good luck!
