DiPaolo: Large companies require outside capital, but quick exits should bootstrap
“If you want to build a big company, then you need the money behind you, I think. But if you're just looking to build a product that you can get to market, get some success and sell it, bootstrap it as long as you can.”
DiPaolo: CandidateHub cut follow-up time 85% and raised responses 1,000%
“The amount of time it saved that company was like 85% of the time it took them to follow up with those candidates and their engagement, their response from candidates went increased by a thousand percent.”
DiPaolo: Startups cannot reach product-market fit without first achieving product-solution fit
“But I think the most important, even more important, I think than product market fit is product solution fit. And that was in 20, 23, we hit that pivot point of figuring out our product solution fit and identifying exactly what sort of features can recruiters …”
DiPaolo: Modern talent behaves as job shoppers evaluating employers like software
“Talent today are jobs. Job shoppers. They're not job. They're not job hunters. They're not job hoppers. They're job shoppers. And same as if I buy an applicant tracking system or I buy a piece of financial software, if it's not doing it for me, if it's not sol…”
DiPaolo: Employee retention follows the same process as enterprise sales
“So it's really, I see Hiring, onboarding, and retention the same way, like it's the same process as we follow with enterprise level sales. We got to do the same thing.”
DiPaolo: Free tiers fail in enterprise software without client financial stake
“If you're an enterprise level company that doesn't work because the people that you're dealing with that have to invest so much time, if there's no financial stake in it, then they won't invest the time to make it successful.”
DiPaolo: Recruiters start from scratch instead of revisiting ATS candidates
“We start from scratch. We don't go back to the ATS. We don't go back to candidates we've dealt with in the past.”
DiPaolo: CandidateHub currently operates as service-as-a-software, not SaaS
“But we're in the stage where we're more of a service as a software as opposed to a software as a service.”
DiPaolo: The market is increasingly forgiving of early-stage startup growing pains
“There's a lot more awareness on the pressure that's on founders these days, and so there's a little bit more Forgiveness within the market, I think, of early stage founders and not expecting them to be the Walmarts, the Apples, the whatever of the world, right…”
DiPaolo: CandidateHub is negotiating $100K to $200K enterprise contracts
“And so we're actually in conversation with a couple of different organizations with some of those, a 102 hundred K contracts and landing.”
DiPaolo: CandidateHub applies e-commerce marketing automation to recruitment
“So we've taken a combination of e-commerce style strategies. With traditional marketing automation and created a sort of a supercharged candidate engagement platform that allows recruiters to nurture candidates that have shown some form of interest in their or…”
