The company has a strong and compelling product vision and principles, but I will not share it here as it would make obvious the actual company being profiled.
However, I can say that the company was founded on the desire to help people find the best job possible given their capabilities, and to help employers find strong candidates for their open positions.
While that's easy to say, this company depends on repeat business from employers, and when faced with decisions that trade off short‐term benefits for their company versus the long‐term benefit for their customers, I saw them consistently deciding in favor of their customers.
I saw those values and principles play out multiple times, so at least I was personally convinced that they weren't just empty words.
Most important, the leaders of product management, engineering, and design—and the members of the product teams—had the product vision, product principles, and especially the product strategy in mind as they decided on, and then pursued, their team objectives.
