Mehul Patel has been building marketplace companies for the last decade. Prior to Hired, Mehul was COO at Kaggle, a marketplace of over 200,000 data scientists, and an Executive-in-Residence at Crosslink Capital where he focused on marketplace companies, including Lyft and Scripted. Mehul was an early executive at Axiom, the leading marketplace for lawyers, where he led global expansion as the company scaled to over $150mm in revenue.
We had the opportunity to sit with Mehul and discuss the current employment and hiring climate in the US; many American trends and best practices have now made their way into Canada. While Mehul has since left his role as CEO at Hired, we're pleased to share the highlights from his interview below.
