Season 2, Ep. 2 – Our first foray into fundraising

What startup says “no” to funding for almost an entire decade? One that’s either totally crazy or incredibly astute. Maybe we’re a little of both? Hot off the heels of our Series A raise, we talked to our CEO, Teja Yenamandra, and COO, Tyler Newkirk, about the decision to bootstrap for so long, and how, […]

Season 2, Ep. 1 – From the beginning

What happens when an idea to hook your friends up with jobs becomes a multi-million dollar talent agency operating on a global scale? In the opener to season 2 of the Frontier Podcast, you’ll learn from Gun.io’s founder and CEO, Teja Yenamandra, exactly how he made it happen.

While we’re all working double time to recruit and hire great talent no matter our job title, the ones bearing the brunt of it are recruiters—particularly technical recruiters. Luckily, we can help shorten your hiring cycle to get your team growing fast. 

Why is hiring people so hard on LinkedIn?

It might seem odd that I used LinkedIn Jobs to make a recent hire. After all, it’s my job to grow Gun.io, a hiring platform that seeks to outpace LI (and all other hiring platforms, for that matter). The thing is, we operate exclusively in the software development space, and I was tasked with making […]
