NEW YORK (PRWEB)

The Exchange 2020: Unifying Leadership: 10th annual two-day conference pushes toward transformation with a pathway towards a more equitable society September 23 and 24

The Social Impact Exchange, a national, cross-sector membership association dedicated to generating large-scale impact, has announced details of the nonprofit’s 10th annual conference. The Exchange 2020: Unifying Leadership will take place virtually Wednesday, September 23 and Thursday, September 24, and offers funders and leaders from the nonprofit, corporate, philanthropy and public sectors a unique multi-sector gathering place to scale impact together. Alexander Rossides, founder and president, Social Impact Exchange, made the announcement.

The agenda includes thought-provoking and inspiring conversations and provides tangible solutions and initiatives that participants can invest in to address the critical challenges we face. The conference will open with a keynote by Mark Suzman, CEO, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and features more than 25 founders and CEO speakers.

“What does the post-COVID world look like? How do we emerge from the turbulence created by the simultaneous racial, political, and economic crises we face as a nation with a pathway toward transformation and a new normal that moves us all to a much more equitable society?” asks Rossides. “We have to change systemically because recovery that returns us to the status quo is not what we aspire to. Over two days, we’ll address the structural inequities that exist in health access, educational opportunity, the need for reimagining capitalism, transformation of cities, and more. For those who want to come out of this and drive towards a new and different way for society to work together that is more equitable, The Exchange 2020: Unifying Leadership is the conference to attend.”

Leave a comment



PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB)

Germinate, a Portland, Ore app development studio has named Douglas Gastich its new CEO. Michael Krol, who founded Germinate in 2008, moves to the CTO position and will continue to lead the design and development teams. Gastich will bring go-to-market and business development services to help Germinate’s client and portfolio companies see greater results from their products and services.

“Bringing an app into the world doesn’t need to be painful” says Gastich. “It should be fun, an adventure in expression. When you combine technical know-how with business know-how, everything gets simpler and faster for entrepreneurs. It thrills me to join a team that gets this, at its core.”

Germinates’s unique approach to the world of app development follows in the footsteps of ‘technology in service’ pioneers like 37 Signals (now Basecamp). Germinate fills the role of ‘app incubator’ for entrepreneurs looking to go from the seed of an idea to the sprout of an MVP, and on to market success.

“It keeps us sharp,” says Krol, “Working with innovative and thoughtful clients, helping them to bring their app ideas into the world, we love it so much. Doug brings years of experience taking technology products to market, solving tough business problems- something I know our clients and partners will love.”

“It’s been really fun to watch,” says Torri Wright, BEHCA CEO and Germinate client-partner. “I know Michael and Doug personally, and honestly I’m surprised it’s taken them this long to partner up. The benefit to BEHCA was immediate, they push each other to be better, and I get even more from our partnership.”

Gastich brings decades of experience in business development, product development and organizational leadership. “I love ideas. But they are not precious. Ideas are meant to be batted around. Molded. Tested. And perhaps best of all, made real.”

About Germinate: Germinate is an app innovation studio. Founded in 2008, the Portland, Oregon based firm works with enterprise companies and startups to build and launch great apps.

HackerEarth Announces 2019 – 2020 Milestones, Driven by Adoption of its Leading Developer Skills-Assessment Platform

Leave a comment


News Image

The emergence and continued acceleration of remote recruitment, accurate skills assessment, and hiring promises to transform an already dynamic HR technology industry, and specifically for developer and IT roles, creates a significant runway for continued opportunity in the US market and beyond.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

HackerEarth, a leading developer assessment and interview solutions provider, today announced its milestones from 2019 – 2020, during which it brought on new enterprise clients and doubled its registered customer base. In a competitive market, HackerEarth’s traction with enterprises, as well as millions of developers signals a strong demand for accurate developer screening based on measurable skills, and solutions for developers to improve their coding skills.

The context for this growth includes an ever-increasing shift towards digital transformation and digital solutions. In order to stay competitive, all companies must adopt a tech-first mentality, and this is true for businesses in the HR and talent recruiting industry. As such, there’s an increased need and opportunity for software and solutions that enable more efficient and accurate candidate screening to ensure those with the best skills are matched with the right opportunities.

HackerEarth’s AI-powered developer assessment platform enables companies to make the most informed and objective decisions whether or not to move candidates from screening to the interview phase. The overarching platform benefit is improved efficiency in developer recruiting and ensuring companies are matched with the right developer talent for the right opportunity. For developers looking to hone their skills, HackerEarth provides a solution to practice for coding interviews, compete in coding contests, and solve real-world challenges through hackathons.

“We are obviously operating in unprecedented times, but the development of new software and tech-based solutions will continue to be the core driving force of business digital transformation and competitiveness post-COVID-19 — and highly sought after developer talent is critical in driving this innovation,” said Sachin Gupta, CEO of HackerEarth. “The emergence and continued acceleration of remote recruitment, accurate skills assessment, and hiring promises to transform an already dynamic HR technology industry, and specifically for developer and IT roles, creates a significant runway for continued opportunity in the US market and beyond.”

2019 – 2020 highlights include:

Company Growth

  • Grew its customer base by 120%

  • Surpassed 4 million members in the global online developer community, currently at 4.5M

Revenue and Funding

  • Achieved 100% revenue growth in the US

  • Closed a $6.5 million Series B funding round led by the family office of Jo Hirao and participation from existing investors.

Product Innovations

  • Anti-bias feature – This feature helps hide any personally identifiable information (PII) like name, gender email addresses, and phone numbers, etc. At HackerEarth, you have the option to mask information like gender, email address, job title, etc. and use aliases instead of actual names to reduce unconscious bias.

  • Test creation from the job description – This feature reduces the effort and time that goes into creating an assessment by directly allowing you to upload the job description onto the platform. The skills and years of experience will automatically be picked up from the JD to create a relevant test.

  • Test creation from job role – Recruiters will be able to create tests from 11 pre-defined job roles like full stack developer, front-end-developer, back-end-developer, Data Scientist, Data Engineer, and others

  • Interview Transcripts – HackerEarth’s video interview platform supports transcription. This feature converts speech to text and also highlights important information helping hiring managers make more informed objective decisions.
