It doesn't seem fair that our society has developed boys and men who can be loud and agressive and everyone thinks that is fine. When a woman is not even agressive but assertive, and speaks up, she is often labeled one of an assortment of names - one is five letters and starts with a B. Women who thrive in sales leadership learn the "dance" between not being "too much" and being "enough".  There is no road map for this - that's why we talk to amazing leaders like Ang McManamon, who has been at Gilt Groupe, Amazon, Knotel (among others) and now VP Sales at Crunchbase. Ang talks about her climb into leadership and how she supports her people so that they feel like she has their back.

Chris Bakke is currently founder of Laskie.com, a startup focused on becoming the Upwork for enterprise hiring. Previously he was co-founder of Interviewed, which was acquired by Indeed for 'mid 8 figures' after just two and a half years. Prior to this he worked as COO for 42Floors (acquired by Knotel) and RentJuice, which was acquired by Zillow, where Chris also worked for several years.Chris in this interview explains his part in all these companies, first starting as an early employee in the real estate tech space, which led to his first exit, gaining shares in Zillow (he explains what he did with the shares during the episode).After a couple of years at Zillow, Chris left to work for another real estate tech firm 42Floors, rising to become COO, and again enjoying an exit when Knotel bought the company.Chris was then 'pushed' to become a founder himself, after his co-founders won a hackathon and several angel investors where throwing startup capital at them to back their recruitment testing tech idea.This led to an amazing two and a half years where thanks to a lot of a hustle and a 'beachhead' client acquisition strategy, Chris and his co-founders grew Interviewed to $2.5Mil in annual run rate, and then the incredible sale to Indeed for almost $50 Million.One of the mains reasons I wanted to speak to Chris was to hear how several of the companies he worked for or co-founded were able to sell for such high multiples. He calls these 'strategic buys' and explains why this was possible in the interview.Enjoy the discussion.Yaro Podcast: https://www.yaro.blog/pod/Blog: https://www.yaro.blog/

The ability to acquire customers to fill a coworking space to 90-95% capacity, and then replace customers every single month as members inevitably leave, is central to a coworking space operator’s ability to survive. If you don’t build and optimize a customer acquisition machine, you may not fail, but you will not thrive. The ability to acquire many individual or small teams as customers every single month, is what differentiates your coworking business from a landlord or a commercial real estate broker. In this episode, we talk about what the customer acquisition process looks like in a coworking business and how it differs from models like Knotel which just filed for bankruptcy.

#21 "We are working on building the Knotel offering in Europe" - Frank Zorn, CEO Deskeo (Knotel)

Frank Zorn is the co-founder of Deskeo, nowadays one of the biggest coworking operators in France, with 75.000 m2 under management, spread across 50 locations, mainly in the Paris and Lyon areas. Deskeo is the French arm of the US coworking giant Knotel, that recently invested in the company. Knotel policy, so far, was to keep building on the local brand. Ahoy!, the Berlin based operator taken over by Knotel in 2019 is operating under the Ahoy! brand as well. "Knotel had the same positioning as ours. We rapidly figured out there was a good fit between us. We have the same understanding and philosophy of what we want to build. So Knotel and Deskeo joined forces", tells Frank Zorn. In terms of market positioning, "we see a place between the demand of landlords to convert part of their business towards more flexible models and the companies requiring more flexible commitment for their workplace needs. We see we are well positioned to match the two sides of the demand.", says Frank Zorn. Deskeo focuses on the middle size and scaling up companies, as well as corporates. "Once a company grows higher than 10-20 people, they start to look for an environment where they can build their own culture, their own iconography within their location. We co-create an office that looks like their own office, bringing on top of it our service layer and flexibility." Frank Zorn is involved in the development of France, but not only. He also helps to develop the Knotel European offering elsewhere in Europe, in Amsterdam and Dublin, a.o. According to the country, the strategy will either be to keep the operations under as existing local brand - such as was the case with Deskeo (which benefits form a strong recognition in France)- or to develop directly and organically a new offering under the Knotel brand. "For contracts involving locations in different countries, with international customer, for instance, we commit as Knotel (...) We are a global brand, present in 70 cities." "We focus first on the most attractive and biggest markets, for the moment, but could look go for smaller cities, as a second steps." Frank Zorn says the company is also aware of the shift in culture that is brewing, in the post-Covid19 time. Employees and companies start to consider to distribute their workforce differently. Silicon Valley and some other places are losing some of their appeal, as people are thinking differently after the Covid-19 impact. "This is a shift that is going to take place", observes Frank Zorn. However, we expect the changes not to happen overnight. It will take a few years." Deskeo recently released the outcome of a Survey on how teleworking is accepted and perceived in France. "Work from home policy will become an asset for companies talent attraction, we see from the results", explains Frank Zorn. "Employees are also ready to give up their dedicated desks, would the workspace policy change and become more flexible, integrating home office. The head down tasks can be made at home. Brainstorming, collective creativity sessions, social stimulation rather take place within a workspace environment." "Proper Workspace design will become even more important in that new era", adds the CEO of Deskeo.

In the wake of the remarkable fall of WeWork, you’re forgiven if you feel more than a little skeptical about coworking as a business model. But Knotel is doing things differently. They may not have WeWork’s name recognition — yet — but the company is building a coworking empire based on stringent market analysis. Knotel is led by startup veteran Amol Sarva. He has a track record of growing great companies and was on the founding team of Virgin Mobile USA. Around 2015, Amol and his partner decided to evaluate coworking as a business opportunity — they wanted to understand the hype. “We did the analytical work that we normally do when we evaluate a company idea,” Amol says. They were pleasantly surprised to find that coworking is “actually a sensible business in a bunch of ways.” But they found that many businesses in the space were focused on attracting small teams and hadn’t yet tapped into the enterprise market. “They were focusing on really small businesses, and spending outsized amounts of money to get them into their properties,” he notes.

This episode is brought to you by Hiretual. First up in the news…. According to the Wall Street Journal Facebook agreed to overhaul its lucrative targeted advertising system to settle accusations that landlords, lenders and employers use the platform to discriminate. The far-reaching settlement compels Facebook to withhold a wide array of detailed demographic information — including Zip codes, gender and age — from advertisers when they market housing, credit and job opportunities.   Facebook said the new platform will also prevent advertisers from discriminating based on sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, and other characteristics covered by state and local civil rights laws. Upwork, the largest freelancing website, recently announced Upwork Plus, its first packaged service offering tailored for small businesses. To help growing businesses connect with and secure top-tier freelance talent, Upwork Plus features on-demand support, greater visibility for job posts, dedicated dashboards for collaboration, and access to an exclusive community board devoted to Upwork Plus customers. Feature include On-Demand Support from Account ManagersPlus provides clients with access to 24/7 customer support and additional on-demand support from account managers to help users post their first job or scale their hiring. Customers can also opt-in for talent specialist services that can assist in sourcing and highlighting top freelancers. Greater Visibility through Promoted Job Posts and Client BadgeUpwork Plus customers will receive a monthly Featured Job, which flags a post as a top job in search results and includes the post in a digest that is sent to Top Rated freelancers. Plus clients will also receive a client badge on the freelancer’s search results page to help attract talent. Collaboration Across an OrganizationWith a dedicated dashboard, Plus customers can track program efforts across an organization all in one place. It also enables customers to invite colleagues onto a shared account and access collaboration and project status tracking tools. Plus Community BoardPlus customers will also have access to an exclusive community board with guides and resources to help them find success with Upwork. Learning tools and forums will allow new clients to ask questions and share tips with other customers. https://recruitingheadlines.com/upwork-debuts-new-solution-to-help-small-businesses-attract-freelancers/ NEW YORK, March 21, 2019 — Fetcher, the outbound recruiting platform that combines AI with human expertise to recruit top talent for high-growth companies, is excited to announce its latest round of funding as well as several key executive hires. In late 2018, Fetcher raised $5.4MM in an oversubscribed seed round led by Accomplice and Slow Ventures, with full participation by existing investors, Picus and Revel Partners, as well as angel investors which include Paul English(founder of Kayak), Amol Sarva (founder of Knotel) and James Joaquin (co-founder of Obvious Ventures). They’ve also brought into the organization several industry leaders to help scale their business. “With our latest round of funding, we were able to hire several outstanding executives and industry luminaries to lead our Sales, Customer Success and Operations teams,” says co-founder and CEO, Andres Blank.  “We’re also focused on using our funding to scale our Data Science and Engineering teams to ensure amazing product innovations for our customers.” Fetcher reimagines recruiting by utilizing AI to automate the recruiting process for large and small companies alike. There are currently 7MM open jobs in the US and Fetcher’s success rate in recruiting  top-tier, diverse candidates for those openings is garnering the attention of high-growth organizations like Peloton, Paperless Post, Equinox, AppNexus, Bridgestone and DigitalOcean, which rely on Fetcher to help grow their teams. https://recruitingheadlines.com/outbound-recruiting-platform-fetcher-raises-5-4-million/ MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and SEATTLE, March 20, 2019 — SOURCECON — Hiretual, the leading provider of AI-powered enterprise software for passive candidate sourcing and recruiting, today announced the launch of Intelligent Talent Pipeline™, a consolidated  talent pipeline for the enterprise – a market first. Hiretual’s Intelligent Talent Pipeline consolidates and fuses all talent pools – combining data from a company’s internal systems with passive candidate sourcing data from the open web – to automatically deliver the best fit candidates to a company’s hiring pipeline. “Talent acquisition to date has been very transactional, with candidates going from job posting to hire. The Hiretual Intelligent Talent Pipeline creates an intelligent, closed loop system that continuously learns and gets better, constantly rediscovers, and actively integrates with all other enterprise functions within HR,” said Steven Jiang, CEO and co-founder of Hiretual. “The launch of Intelligent Talent Pipeline delivers the ‘Holy Grail’ in recruiting technology for HR teams, transforming talent acquisition from data-driven to intelligence-driven.” How Intelligent Talent Pipeline works Company X posts a job they want to fill on their career site via their ATS (i.e. Taleo, Jobvite, ADP, Workday, etc.), which posts the job to places like LinkedIn, Indeed and Monster. Company X is then awash in applications – even more so if they are a well-known brand. Many of these applicants are high quality, but unfortunately not currently qualified for the position. Hiretual’s AI-matching engine automatically screens the incoming stream of applicants in real-time, and delivers the best fitting applicants for the role to Company X’s ATS (Applicant Tracking System) – while automatically screening out and delivering applicants who are not qualified for the current role to a passive talent pool. This automation saves significant time and increases the quality of the applicant pipeline in Company X’s ATS by ten-fold. AUSTIN, Texas—Indeed, the world’s #1 job site, announced today that job seekers can now proactively take skills-based assessments and add the results directly to their Indeed Resume. This new feature helps job seekers stand out by highlighting their qualifications to employers, allowing hiring managers to more easily identify candidates who have the right skills for their open roles. “Assessments allow job seekers to show employers they have the skills a job requires in a way that their work history or educational background may not,” said Raj Mukherjee, SVP of Product at Indeed. “We believe this is an important step to providing a more holistic view of a job seeker’s capabilities and to help to reduce bias in hiring and to focus on what matters most – skills.” Resumes alone do not offer the full breadth of a candidate’s capabilities. Assessments help employers find and evaluate candidates based on their skills and abilities while also giving job seekers a way to demonstrate their qualifications when applying for jobs. https://recruitingheadlines.com/indeed-adds-assessment-results-to-online-resumes/ HiringSolved will be launching and showcasing the public beta release of the highly anticipated PROPHET II sourcing tool to sourcers and recruiters at SourceCon in Seattle. PROPHET II is an exciting update to the original PROPHET, combining millions of records and billions of data points with HiringSolved’s award-winning AI-based search, matching and collaboration features to make it easier for recruiters to find talent from the open web. PROPHET II features include: Open Web Data: Instantly search across millions of people with billions of data points including social data, contact information, web sites and more. Predictive search: Automatic title and skill expansion with autocomplete search suggestions. Resume match: Users can upload a resume and PROPHET II will automatically build a list of potential candidates with qualifications similar to that resume. This instant matching feature uses HiringSolved’s advanced candidate-to-candidate matching models to perform a pattern based search with no other user input. RAI: Access to HiringSolved’s Recruiter AI, the powerful voice assistant that can be used to conduct searches and boost diversity. HiringSolved’s Diversity Search technology: Diversity of people leads to diversity of ideas, which fosters innovation, creativity, and success. PROPHET II provides insights into the diversity of a current search result or candidate list, helping organizations find the best and most diverse talent with advanced automation. https://recruitingheadlines.com/hiringsolved-set-to-release-prophet-ii-sourcing-tool/

The Instant Group reports that 68% of the market is made up of operators outside the top 6 national companies. So 68% of the market is not WeWork or Knotel or Regus or Premier Business Centers. We are, however, seeing the market share by number of locations grow for the larger operators. The estimated share for 2018 is 36% of the number of locations held by the top operators. But those operators are generally taking large spaces in central business districts. That leaves a lot of market opportunities for successful independent operators that want to make a local impact. Here are five powerful reasons it can pay to be small but mighty.
