In this episode we are joined by Andrew Marsh, for a lively and intense conversation about his 15 years in gaming and why he left the industry to co-found engineering interviewing platform interviewing.io. Andrew wanted to co-found a business that scales by serving its customers needs, which he felt was no longer possible in gaming. Andrew also describes his approach to strategy and management, one that relies on a rigorous but constantly evolving model of his business that in turn supports his insight and intuition. And he argues for the advantages of interviewing.io's two-sided marketplace solution to the problem of engineering recruiting, because the solution is driven by data and by the employer and employee market participants and is therefore open to expansion. Andrew is the rare technologist who can earn a patent for last-minute code written to save a Tivo feature, and also converse for minutes at a time in fully formed paragraphs.
So buckle up and enjoy the ride. It's a fun one.
Recorded Nov. 15, 2017.
