What a year it’s been! Time flies when you’re having fun, but it also flies by when you’ve been spreading Hiring Happiness® while helping partners grow their businesses! We can’t decide whether January 2022 feels like it was 2 weeks or 2 years ago, but either way, it’s easy to forget how much we’ve accomplished in just one year! And what better time than the holiday season to slow down, reflect on and share HiringThing’s 2022 successes?
As a company that’s first and foremost product-driven, our team is dedicated—nay, obsessed—with ensuring our users have the easiest, future-ready hiring tools at their fingertips (they don’t call us the Hiring Happiness® experts for nothing) and that at a private label level, our platform is intuitive, integrative, and seamlessly allows your teams to make it their own.
We spent 2022 conducting research and gathering your feedback to consistently add to and adapt our product in meaningful ways. Some major product updates in 2022 include:
Over the past year, we’ve created content specifically around product updates if you’d like more in-depth context or education. Some include:
Editor’s Note: This is just a sampling of product updates from 2022. Our quarterly Partner Pulse newsletters and monthly customer newsletters update our partners and customers regularly on all updates on a more granular level.
We don’t take our trademarked Partner Perfection™ lightly—it’s our job to ensure all HiringThing partners have all the tools and resources they need so that their ATS can successfully grow their business. Over the past year, we’ve:
95% of startups fail, 50% make it to the five-year mark, and only 40% become profitable, so celebrating a ten-year business birthday is a big deal.
Ten years ago, HiringThing CEO and founder Joshua Siler founded HiringThing with two goals: 1) To create the hiring solution he wanted to use. 2) To create the kind of company where he’d like to work. It looks like he was on the money because HiringThing has beat the statistical odds and celebrated our tenth anniversary in 2022.
Despite Siler’s goals remaining the same, HiringThing has evolved over the years from a SaaS platform aimed at delivering Hiring Happiness® to customers to a private label PaaS powerhouse allowing our partners to grow their businesses through proprietary recruiting solutions.
While the spirit and values of HiringThing have remained steadfast as we’ve grown—we still want to empower everyone, everywhere, to hire their dream teams—the company and world of work have changed significantly in the past ten years. We wanted to ensure our brand and website reflect where we are now. Check out our blog What is a Private Label Applicant Tracking System? To fully understand what sets HiringThing apart from competing white label applicant tracking systems.
We’ve racked up awards in 2022. HiringThing added the following to our virtual trophy case this year:
As mentioned above, our CEO and founder Joshua Siler has been a leading innovator in the recruiting tech space for the past ten years. Siler has a lot of insights into the world of recruiting, as well as running a successful tech company. In 2022, we decided to tap into his industry expertise to create content to help others recruit and successfully grow businesses.
Siler became a regular contributor for Forbes, penning the following articles about ATS use:
HiringThing has been a fully remote company since our 2012 inception. We love the flexibility and autonomy that comes with remote work—working from the environment that makes us most successful, in the manner that makes us most productive, on a schedule that lets us balance solving hard problems with smart teammates while enjoying our lives.
We’re adamant that it’s possible to create meaningful, dynamic relationships with virtual colleagues, but there’s something to be said about the collaborative sparks meeting in person can foster.
Traditionally, HiringThing has held a yearly in-person summit so that the team can meet, collaborate, build connections, and see someplace fun—we’ve been to Portland, Albuquerque, Myrtle Beach, and Park City—but then the pandemic happened, and we put the summit on pause.
This year, HiringThing’s in-person summit returned with an October team meeting in Las Vegas! The HiringThing team gathered for a week of collaborating, strategizing, trivia playing, scavenger hunting, team-building, dining, and of course, some Vegas shenanigans (perhaps some gambling, live Drag Race watching, and late nights took place…).
Contrary to the adage, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas because the HiringThing team returned with strengthened bonds, new connections (many of our current team members were hired during or after the pandemic and so never met each other in person), inter-departmental collaborations, ideas, initiatives, and a heightened sense of excitement about our jobs and mission.
2022’s been a good year, and we’re excited to see what 2023 brings for HiringThing and our partners! We’d love to connect in the new year if it hasn't happened yet.
