HR-Tech experience boosted the journey of JOIN Solutions

Tim's industry experience played a vital role in JOIN's fast-paced development. Prior to founding JOIN, Tim and his team had already worked in HR technology, building and scaling platforms like Talendo. This previous work gave them a thorough understanding of their customer needs and made them a well-coordinated team for developing high-quality technological solutions. "I knew that my team was longing for applying new technologies and building new products. By going into this venture together, I was able to start the journey with a close-knit team that was eager to learn and build this product-led solution," Tim says.

Leveraging this gained expertise, the JOIN Solutions team was able to create a minimum viable product (MVP) that addressed the pain points of SMBs quickly and efficiently.

Tim's approach to company culture has also been a defining factor in JOIN's success. He emphasizes hiring top-tier talent and investing heavily in product quality rather than prioritizing aggressive marketing tactics. "We placed around 80-90% of our resources into product development and hiring, aiming for an R&D-like focus on quality," he shares. JOIN's commitment to developing an excellent product ultimately allowed it to differentiate itself in a competitive market. Tim attributes this to his "American start-up mindset," which focuses on providing something "truly good for as many people as possible."

Value-driven approach leads to having a sustainable and successful business

Today, JOIN Solutions has over 100'000 registered businesses, and over 35 million job applications are generated. In six years, the company has become a trusted partner in recruitment for small businesses. "I was optimistic from the start, and yet I was surprised by the high demand from smaller companies and the willingness of major industry players like LinkedIn and Indeed to partner with Join on multi-posting services. Their openness was incredible," he says. "For giants like LinkedIn and Indeed, supporting a company like ours was a win-win."

Tim focuses on further enhancing talent attraction, securing additional strategic partnerships, and expanding the platform's applicant tracking capabilities to streamline communication and improve mobile accessibility for candidates. His long-term goal is not a company exit but instead building a sustainable, independent business that empowers small enterprises to find the right talent, ultimately boosting their growth and success. Tim reflects on this with evident pride, noting, "Our mission has always been to make recruitment accessible and affordable for the businesses that need it most."
