Snaptalent
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Snaptalent first ran a recruitment advertising network, then developed a college-recruitment platform.

The founders said the ad network generated too few candidates to retain employer spending. Its college-recruitment pivot met shrinking recruitment budgets and a smaller market. They chose to stop and return remaining funds, rather than exhaust them.
