Why we built Pluk
Every real career opportunity I've had came through someone I knew.
My first PM job. The role at Netflix. The investors who backed this company. People haven't taken a chance on me blind. It has always required someone vouching for me: a friend, a former coworker, a connection of a connection who forwarded my resume.
When I started my first company, I realized why. A bad hire can destroy your company. Hiring requires trust, and trust is built over time, often transferred between relationships. With AI, trust has disintegrated, with fake applicants and outreach spam. Everyone is posting to LinkedIn, hoping the right person sees or shares their job.
I knew it was time for a change. At Pluk we believe:
- 1.Hiring through your team's network is the fastest way to hire the best candidates.
- 2.Recruiting is a team's responsibility, not an individual's.
- 3.Recruiting isn't a funnel. It can be one conversation, one hire.
We hope Pluk will forever change how you hire for the better.
