Oh, I think...

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1222 Workable CEO on Saying "No" to Acquisition Offers, $20m+ in ARR

I think they're going to be worth a lot more than that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I mean, Workable is a recruiting software.

It's fast becoming one of the most popular choices for SMBs doing recruiting, meaning companies with, let's say, 50 to a few thousand employees all over the world.

I think we are

In nearly 100 countries right now, 6,000 customers and adding something like 400 or 500 every month.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1222 Workable CEO on Saying "No" to Acquisition Offers, $20m+ in ARR

Yes.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1222 Workable CEO on Saying "No" to Acquisition Offers, $20m+ in ARR

We started in 2012.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we've been at it for five and a half years right now.

Before this, I was working in a fast-growing company doing software for telcos, completely different from Workable.

What links the two is that we had to hire a lot of people really fast.

If you're a manager in a company that grows really fast, you get to hire a lot.

1222 Workable CEO on Saying "No" to Acquisition Offers, $20m+ in ARR

Yes.

So I used a lot of the stuff that's out there and to be honest with you, most of it is pretty old, not very good.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So we decided to do something slightly better ourselves.
