Ep 113 | Platforms and products. Do they have a place in recruitment? Jake Gorgol from OutScout.

Joining us from Austin, Texas, Jake Gorgol is our latest guest. Jake works for OutScout who are part of the JCW Group, and the business describes itself as a "technology talent matching platform".  The great thing about this conversation is that this is not an add-on the existing recruitment and staffing services, it's a dedicated business trying to do things differently (but still retaining the human element). Jake's marketing background is a product one having previously worked at Abercrombie & Fitch and we dive into how his experiences there have guided his approach in the staffing world. He is also being given the time to build out the long-term marketing assets that will pay dividends down the line, something we can all relate to. Nice to have a US accent back on the show as well as a shift in the conversation a bit. I hope you enjoy the chat. Yo Paiger! Thanks for having our back.
