It’s a very important initiative with immense upside potential as both a revenue earner and as an industry-wide brand-builder for us. Lev will drive development of CareerChain in such a way that the needs of job seekers, employers, job boards and ATSs are always valued. As well as leading the development effort, he will also join the founders in meeting and strategizing with critical client/partners and will collaborate with the internal and partner technical teams to ensure we integrate ‘Apply with CareerChain’ into all these platforms as efficiently and effectively as possible.
