JobFlash Names Mike Krueger as New President and CEO
Former BuildPoint CEO selected to lead voice recruiting leader, whose revenues have tripled in the past year.
Fremont, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2005 -- JobFlash, the leading voice in hourly
recruiting, today announced the appointment of Mike Krueger as President and
CEO. Co-founder and interim CEO Uday Walia will resume his role as Chief
Technical Officer for the company.
“Mike brings to JobFlash impressive
credentials in building great companies,” said Walia. “We’re thrilled to have
found the ideal leader to take JobFlash to the next level.”
Prior to
joining JobFlash, Krueger was the president and CEO of BuildPoint, a leading
provider of on-demand software in the commercial construction market. Under his
leadership the company grew its user base to 100,000 registered subcontractors
and 150 general contracting firms. Krueger also has extensive experience in
sales management, sales development and partner management, moving several
companies from the startup stage to IPO.
“JobFlash has predicated its
success on delivering to its clients the highest quality hires,” said board of
directors member Dan Levitan, the co-founder of Maveron, a Seattle-based
venture-capital company. “We were in the enviable position of choosing from an
outstanding roster of candidates with proven track records as CEOs and company
builders, and the board is unanimous in its belief that we made the highest
quality hire.”
The announcement comes on the heels of news that JobFlash
has tripled its revenues since August 2004.
“JobFlash has changed the
recruiting game for companies that hire hourly employees,” said Krueger, who has
20 years of sales and executive management experience in high-growth software
companies. “What excited me the most is the loyalty of their clients, and the
fact that the company’s growth is due almost exclusively to referrals. JobFlash
delivers a great service at an outstanding value and is poised for explosive
growth.”
The search was conducted by Nadine North of Taylor Winfield, a
Dallas-based international executive search firm.
