    026 - We Launch Our Hiring App

    026 - We Launch Our Hiring App

    We launched our hiring app, HappyHire, to help companies hire without bias. While celebrating, Caleb was sending some sick lines on his bike and bit it.  Though battered, bruised, and one-armed, we persevered to launch HappyHire on schedule. Caleb is slowly mending and the rest of us remain unscathed...for the moment! Chat with us if you need help hiring well or just want to commiserate about the perils of stunt biking.
