Perry Oostdam: the story of a successful pivot!
Perry Oostdam Co-founder & CEO at Recruitee a fast, easy, collaborative hiring tool!
Hi Perry, could you tell us how did you come up with the idea to launch your start-up ?
I’ve met my co-founder Pawel online -on a platform for entrepreneurs. We’ve started GeoRun (a gps-based gaming company) four years ago. When our team grew, we looked around for a handy recruiting tool. We couldn’t really find a simple and intuitive tool, and decided to build our own tool for internal use. Several startups in Amsterdam and Poznan started to use our solution as well, and we realized Recruitee could be turned into a separate business. One year later, we’ve pivoted our business and got the whole team working on Recruitee.
Could you introduce your app in few lines ?
Recruitee is a fast, easy, collaborate hiring platform. We aim to be an industry standard for fast-growing teams, proving them with both a backend recruiting tool (ATS) and career site editor (employer branding).
Would you share with our community one funny anedocte about your start up ?
When we started this project (Recruitee had another name back then), we bought a domain name on one of the big auction sites. We had no external cash and decided to bootstrap our business at least till breakeven.
After two weeks of being live, we received a very angry letter from a NY law firm indicating that our name was infringing on their copyright. Damn it, and that after two weeks!
We bluffed that our operations would stay in Europe, and our initiative wouldn’t hurt their business in the US. One week later, a domain name broker approached us, asking if we would consider selling the domain.
We ended up selling the domain name for an amount that brought us to breakeven ;-).
What are your 3 favorites Saas apps ? Excluding yours of course 😉
If you had to compare your start-up, would it be a movie, a sport or a music band ? Which one and why ?
A movie. The Godfather of course! Why? Because we make you an offer you can’t refuse ;-).
Enjoy 50% discount on Recruitee during 6 months! Until september 20 ?
Bram Kanstein: founder @startupstash & previously @ProductHunt!
Bram Kanstein is an entrepreneur, Product Hunter and more! Bram makes us the pleasure to answer to some few questions.
Hi Bram, a few lines to tell us a bit more about your career?
I’ve been active in the internet world for some time now. Started at The Next Web with an internship and working in the Marketing team. Then I went on to work at an Amsterdam based investor, helping startups with product development and strategy. Tried and failed at 2 startups in between 🙂
Then I launched startupstash.com and joined Product Hunt as their European community manager. Now I’m off to pursue new adventures 🙂
Could you give us some tips to have a successfull launch on Producthunt?
Make sure your product is awesome of course 🙂 Find a hunter that has posted products in your vertical before. Check Whohunt.io for instance. Make sure you have a proper (not to long) comment ready + great images of your product you can add to the post. Stay active in the comments, thank people for upvoting (do this on Twitter) and try to leverage your appearance on PH with other publications like Techcrunch etc.
How do you select your Apps on Startupstash?
It took my about 5 months to index around 700 products. Eventually I chose 400 products to be in the first version of Startup Stash. I look at the product itself and what they offer. Basically it’s my own opinion of cool tools 🙂
It seems that you’re working on a new project … Timeforstartups. Can you tell us a bit more about this? 🙂
YES!! This is going to be a weekly show on Blab.im where I, together with an awesome co-host give feedback to 3 startups (20 minutes each, 1hr total). This will be live-streamed and shared on Youtube also. confirmed co-hosts are Chris Messina, Jonathon Triest, Owen Williams, Cody Simms, Marc Kohlbrugge, Levels.io, Emiel Janson and more!
Lastly, what are your 3 favorite Web Apps?
Getpoint.co: Share and discuss articles and websites with friends, directly from any webpage.
Getrevue.co: Create an engaging, gorgeous, weekly email newsletter.
And I use Twitter on Web A LOT 🙂
