Q And, and kind of switching back to the marketplace for a second, so on each end of this, right, supply, demand, like, how many job seekers do you have, and how many, uh, hire, you know, people hiring do you have on the platform?
A Yeah. I'll give you this data. So we, we first launched in Atlanta, which was our test market. We did that, we were at beta for a year. And so in that time, we went from launching with nothing, chicken and egg problem, right? Uh, it was actually January, 2016. Okay. And, um, we had no job seekers, no employers. So we had to go out and build this two-sided marketplace, which is very hard to do. Not only is it a two-sided marketplace, also a very local marketplace, right? So the job seekers need to be near the employers for it to work out. So we, uh, in one year in Atlanta, got over 4000 employers to sign up and accumulated over a 100,000 job seekers and got 20,000 people hired. So that was, uh, pretty good, you know.
