Has anyone on here HIRED through Bravado?

If yes how did it go and did the person you found fit the bill? Im assuming most candidates are in the SaaS field, is this the case? And if they were, were candidates largely willing to consider moving to another industry not SaaS related?


Im curious because we are having a heck of a time trying to hire someone and i'm pushing HR towards Bravado to hire.


Question is for those hiring, not hired.

This is a half answer to the OP and a half answer to everyone else.

We have about 100 employers on the platform (about 20 just onboarded in the last week). If you want an intro to any of those who have officially hired folks then feel free to DM me or Sahil and we'll connect you. 

From the placement side: We've placed (Hired) enough candidates that we were able to raise a $26M Series B. In raising a Series B, Tiger Global, did weeks of diligence around our numbers including number of employers, candidates etc. I like to believe their diligence was more thorough than any of yours here in this thread. 

Over the last 9 months we put all our resources into Bravado Jobs. The War Room has been neglected. We have an issue converting job seekers to War Room participants and we just hired a Product Manager to work on it. 

If you haven't been placed yet, there are several potential reasons: 

1) We've circulated your resume and non of our employers have asked to speak with you.
2) theres not enough data on your profile or role yet that matches your experience. (we really try to match candidates/employers based on a bunch of data points)
3) These things take time and were trying to hire internally to match demand
4) You're not as good as you think you are.  

Y'all can whine all you want about the folks who posted about getting jobs through Bravado. They were/are real. We asked them to post about their experience. They did. Did they come back to the War Room and see this post? It would appear not. Wonder why when they get flamed half the time lol. 

Here's one of those posts:  https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/bravo-bravado-for-matching-me-with-the-hottest-startup

Thanks Corp.  I wasnt criticizing Bravado in any way or calling to question the hiring side, I was simply curious to see if anyone on this side of the platform had some success stories as the hirer rather than the hiree (if thats a word)

Sounds like its going well and as I said in an earlier comment I passed Sahils info along and hopefully that goes somewhere.

Keep it cool.

There have either been about 5 that have posted about it so far, or all of those were fake. I have no idea and don't remember the user names, they just showed up one day, posted a "thank you bravado" and then vanished faster than the beer out of my fridge

I am the Director of Sales at Webflow (Maggie Hott) and I can attest that we have hired many through Bravado. But these stellar AEs and CSMs are now likely hard at work building incredible books of business and not on message boards about it ;) 

If you are someone who has been repeatedly applying to jobs and getting denied, send me your resume and I am happy to give you some honest (likely tough) feedback on it.

Thanks Maggie good info to know.  As many of my replies, I'm looking to hire not be hired and was looking for success stories from the hirers side which you are giving here so thanks.

Apologies if my opening question was not clear

Hey @sketchysales - you can find a list of companies who are hiring through Bravado here: employer.bravado.co

If you'd like to talk to a current customer, happy to connect you. Shoot me an email ([email protected]) and I'll get you intro'd.

The majority of folks in the WR have been on the candidate side, not employers.

Hey Sahil, appreciate it thanks.  I guessed most here would be on the candidate side but figured i'd ask just in case.  I passed this onto the person looking after hiring.

I was setup with a couple interview before but they werent a good fit. Something I’m concerned about is how my anonymity and my posts show up to future employers, like is my profile just another linkedIn now

I'm curious as well since I've set up my account, but have yet to be matched with any companies that seemed decent.

Slightly different topic I think, I'm looking to hire, not be hired which is a different side to this site.  Just wondered if anyone on here has hired through bravado

I have never seen a post on it. And I would imagine that someone would want to toot the horn about it.

I interviewed with a company through Bravado and it was a good experience. Wasn't a great fit so I passed, but definitely seemed to work well.

That first thread is mine. I've still yet to see anything from the jobs platform.

I had one almost interview but it never materialized. I consider myself to be killing the sales game right now but no Bravado employer seems to want to talk to me. I'm in Canada and not in SaaS tho, so I don't fit the expected mold they are recruiting for en masse.

For those of us who don't fit the SasS mold, I think we're going to have better luck finding jobs when they finally add DM features and we all recruit each other.

Reread the question, I'm asking as an employer/hirer how the process went and what the candidate field looks like through bravado, not securing a job as an employee through bravado, quite different.  Sahil has the answer I needed.

Not super related, but I added bravado on my LinkedIn and people keep asking me to recommend them for jobs. Sigh.. I do have smart friends too.

What do you mean when you say you added Bravado? Like you added your membership, in line with your current and past jobs? Or something else, like adding your social handle?
