TCTV: In the Studio, Entelo?s Jon Bischke Aims to Reinvent Recruiting

Screen shot 2012-04-04 at 10.39.25 PM"In the Studio" this week welcomes a serial entrepreneur who has previously founded four companies, three of which were acquired (two by public companies), quickly established himself as a thought-leader at the intersection of entrepreneurship and education, and now, after a brief stint as an EIR on Sand Hill Road, is back at it again founding his next venture focused on reinventing how companies identify and recruit talent. Jon Bischke?is a machine?when it comes to education-related startups. After exploring some ideas as an EIR with Battery Ventures, he noticed that not only were founders troubled by the difficulty of finding and hiring technical talent, but that these activities posed one of the great scaling challenges facing startups today. In parallel, Bischke noticed changing norms around the power of credentialing from traditional bastions of higher education. Whereas in the past formal credentials in technical subjects may have provided the strongest signal to employers, new reputation systems -- such as GitHub for developers -- have emerged and now provide new, and in some cases, more relevant signals as they pertain to the world of software development.
