Our friends at Getro, a seed stage startup building the leading platform for making professional introductions, was featured in the Wall Street Journal at the start of the new year after achieving positive cash flow in spite of market headwinds. As part of this journey, Getro leveraged outsourcing and in-house automation to ensure best-in-class data quality, which is central to their product’s value proposition.
Invisible was a critical part of the equation.
Getro helps over 700 elite Venture Capital (VC) firms and other professional networks share thousands of jobs from their portfolio, automatically. VCs share the names of their portfolio companies, Getro then aggregates all the jobs from within the portfolio and keeps them up to date automatically on the fund’s job board. While technology does the heavy lifting, finding around 1.5m jobs daily, job posts need to be quality controlled (QC) and enriched with critical information, for example, a role’s location.
Getro needed a partner to make sure the job posts displayed were complete and correct, and they turned to Invisible for help.
Invisible runs standardized daily processes for Getro to QC job boards and enrich job posts with key data points. These help to ensure Getro’s platform is up-to-date and able to connect talented people with jobs they’d love. Altogether, Invisible QCs or enriches hundreds of thousands of jobs per year.
Summary: Invisible operators receive a daily flow of job postings that need the role’s location data added, verified, and formatted for Getro’s platform.
Combining automation and people-led QC, we process job location tasks with Getro to ensure job posts are complete and accurate.
