StartDate Labs is an incubator for new ideas and game changing technologies that accelerate and improve job search. Founded by a team of seasoned recruiting technology veterans and funded by some of the most respected names in the talent acquisition space, StartDate Labs is developing solutions for the most intractable problems faced by job seekers, employers, and recruiting vendors. In 2010, StartDate announced the completion of a $750,000 seed round investment from a group of private investors and talent acquisition industry veterans. Recently, StartDate Labs launched StartWire, a social collaboration platform where friends and experts confidentially help job seekers find work. Founded by Chris Forman & Tim McKegney, the former CEO and EVP of AIRS, StartDate Labs will use the investment to continue the development of a suite of next generation web and mobile job search applications. Terry Terhark, CEO of the RightThing, and Steve Pogorzelski, former President of Monster.com and current CEO of Clickfuel, led the round of private investors and will join the company's Board of Directors.
