Executive Shake-Up Going Down at Crowded.com

Sourcing

Dec 20, 2018

Changes are coming to the executive suite at New York-based startup, Crowded.

Co-founded by Howie Schwartz and Joe Rubin in 2015, the software company’s mission is to help revive old resumes within a company’s ATS. Details are sparse at the moment, but here’s what I’ve learned:

A number of executives at the top of the organization have either resigned or have been fired. No confirmation yet on Schwartz’ status, although his LinkedIn profile has yet to reflect a change.
Investors still believe in the company and the product.
Now-former head of sales, Mike Wiston, left the company last month after serving a year and six months.
Co-founder Joe Rubin still has Crowded as a present job on his LinkedIn profile.
Industry veteran Steve Levy is staying with the company and has reiterated his confidence in the company and the product.

Stay tuned for more updates, as this story is developing.
