In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Matt De La Hey, CEO and Co-founder of Inploi. Inploi was launched in 2016, and more than 25,000 candidates were registered as of 2018, with applications growing month-on-month. Over 1,000 employers including the likes of Gaucho, Young’s Pubs, Hilton Hotels, the Hurlingham Club, and Polpo use the Inploi system to fill vacancies every single day!

 

Matt has come off the back of an MBA to build Inploi alongside his co-founders, and they’ve already seen some amazing traction after a well timed and planned pivot. They took a really innovative approach to bringing potential investors along the journey with them, and that resulted in a quick and successful round.

 

Let me know what you think :)

 

In this episode we discuss:

  • Building investor relations before asking for funding

  • Understanding when and how to pivot

  • The impact of brexit

  • Avoiding burnout

  • And as always, plenty more...
