Our Mission
To empower the flow of the world’s talent.
LiveHire technology helps organizations find their people, and people the jobs they love, and as talent and enterprise customers across the world would testify, we’re darn good at it. Whether it’s contract, full time, or anything in between, we believe that finding and working in a fulfilling job is possible for everyone – it’s a vital component to healthy people, productive companies, and happy societies everywhere.
Organizations make the world go round – they are the heart of the global economy. We want them to thrive through access to better talent, more agile growth, reduced costs and stronger compliance. Like all great challenges, we can’t do it by ourselves. A rising tide lifts all boats and we work closely with our clients and partners to push innovation forward, turning LiveHire into the global ecosystem of talent-on-demand for the world that works.
We are proud to be helping large and small organizations across all industries transform the way they recruit talent, and we’re just getting started.
Our values
We believe there’s always a smarter and better way to do things
Reach. Hire.
A quirky play on words with powerful meaning. We never lose sight of our purpose of bringing people and employers successfully together, human to human, millions of times. Reach hire is also our poke to continuously raise the bar in the code we write, the experiences we design, and the miracles we deliver for our clients and users.
Own it. Together
Changing the world requires both individual brilliance and exceptional teaming. We play to our strengths, deliver what we promise, trust each other to lead, and always, always, fail forwards together. Achieving the unthinkable takes incredible focus and alignment, but when you own it together, anything is possible.
Be curious. Always
Why would you ever give up the opportunity to learn something new? Whether it's a technical hurdle, a client's latest challenge, or designing wonderful user experiences, we're always eager to question why? and ask, not tell. We also know the simplest way to show people they are valued is to ask them what they think.
Open. Honestly
Fighting for fairness and equal opportunity in the workplace is at the heart of what we do. We bring transparency and sharing to the employment market to foster participation and opportunity for everyone. Within our team we share our knowledge and have open conversations with facts and honesty, because we care about making the best decisions possible.
Our story
LiveHire launched in 2012 into a dysfunctional employment market. Job seekers were unable to be truly discovered, as they competed with thousands of others in a permanent applicant experience that treated people like commodities.
Companies were struggling to find the quality of people they needed, compromising on diversity and escalating wages in a war for talent. Staffing firms were made to compete over and over again to supply contractor talent, creating an overhead that made it impossible to drive down bill rates. The end result was an economy that was unable to maximize productivity and growth due to poor mobilization of a willing and able workforce.
Does this still sound familiar? It’s likely because you’re not using LiveHire ;). Traditional enterprise technologies are often designed for process compliance, rather than user experience, at the expense of companies, candidates and economies.
We realized every company was going to evolve:
- the way they recruited to win scarce talent,
- how they leveraged unified and authentic candidate data, and
- the brand experience they gave candidates that, in many cases, were also customers.
We wanted to build an architecture, a better way of communicating, and a technology experience that would lead towards that vision of the future.
Our aim is to empower the flow of the world’s talent into, through, and between organizations to create a more agile, open, and awesome working world.
