recruiting leader, whose revenues have tripled in the past year
Fremont, Calif. (August 17, 2005) -- JobFlash, the leading
voice in hourly recruiting, today announced the appointment of Mike
Krueger as President and CEO. The search was conducted by Nadine North
of Taylor Winfield, an international executive search firm.
Co-founder and interim CEO Uday Walia will resume his
role as Chief Technical Officer for the company.
“Mike brings to JobFlash impressive credentials in building
great companies,” said Walia. “We're thrilled to have found the ideal
leader to take JobFlash to the next level.”
Prior to joining JobFlash, Krueger was the president
and CEO of BuildPoint, a leading provider of on-demand software in
the commercial construction market. Under his leadership the company
grew its user base to 100,000 registered subcontractors and 150 general
contracting firms. Krueger also has extensive experience in sales management,
sales development and partner management, moving several companies
from the startup stage to IPO.
“JobFlash has predicated its success on delivering to
its clients the highest quality hires,” said board of directors member
Dan Levitan, the co-founder of Maveron, a Seattle-based venture-capital
company. “We were in the enviable position of choosing from an outstanding
roster of candidates with proven track records as CEOs and company
builders, and the board is unanimous in its belief that we made the
highest quality hire.”
The announcement comes on the heels of news that JobFlash
has tripled its revenues since August 2004.
“JobFlash has changed the recruiting game for companies
that hire hourly employees,” said Krueger, who has 20 years of sales
and executive management experience in high-growth software companies. “What
excited me the most is the loyalty of their clients, and the fact that
the company's growth is due almost exclusively to referrals. JobFlash
delivers a great service at an outstanding value and is poised for
explosive growth.”
