With companies like Hire by Google and startup GoodTime getting into the automated scheduling game, the time seems right for a messaging company to throw its hat in the ring too. In other news, popular freelance marketplace Upwork is going public this week. The opening price is estimated to be between $12 – $14, which is an increase from $10 – $12 yesterday. Analysts expect the stock to settle in around $20 per share. Lastly, Amazon has raised the minimum wage for its workers to $15-per-hour.

Still a tad hungover from the HR Technology Conference in Vegas last week, the boys do a little post-game analysis. Enjoy, and visit our sponsors: Sovren and JobAdX.

Hey kids, it’s The Shred for September 12, 2018, brought to you by Judge.com. Whether you’re moving your systems to the cloud, building out a team for your next project, finding healthcare talent for your organization, filling that mission critical direct hire to lead your team, or training your employees on the latest technology, Judge.com can deliver to ensure your organization’s long-term growth. To the news: CareerBuilder has revamped its mobile app for devices like the iPhone and iPad – not yet, Android users, sorry. The new app makes a big bet on augmented reality. This is where you use your phone’s camera, point it down a busy street and see virtual Help Wanted signs on the buildings you see. From there you can apply online. In a release, the company called this a “major industry disruption,” but augmented reality has yet to take hold. Aside from Pokemon Go, AR as it’s called has been kind of a dud. Some listeners will remember an app called Job Compass that used a lot of this kind of tech, but it never really caught on. Maybe this time it’s different for CareerBuilder. Or, maybe it’s not. In the month’s ahead, CareerBuilder says it will be adding gamification elements to the mobile app, enabling users to earn points and badges for usage.

It was just a matter of time. After a 14-year run, Matt Ferguson is no longer CEO of CareerBuilder. The boys share the details and there opinion about what’s next. Also, Upwork files IPO, surveys galore leading up the HR Tech and tattoos. Enjoy, and visit our sponsors America’s Job Exchange, Sovren and JobAdX.

The boys have a conversation on diversity with bad-ass MF Torin Ellis. Buckle-up for this Nexxt exclusive.

Hey kids, it’s The Shred for September 4, 2018, brought to you by Judge.com. Whether you’re moving your systems to the cloud, building out a team for your next project, finding healthcare talent for your organization, filling that mission critical direct hire to lead your team, or training your employees on the latest technology, Judge.com can deliver to ensure your organization’s long-term growth. To the news: Well, it finally happened. After being acquired a little over a year ago by Apollo, CareerBuilder has a new CEO today. After a 14 year reign, Matt Ferguson is being replaced by Irina Novoselsky, who was previously the company’s president and COO. Ferguson is now executive chairman. The new CEO has a history with Apollo, having served with one of their portfolio companies. In an email to employees, Ferguson made a lengthy statement, but the highlight for me is as follows: “It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to work with everyone who’s been part of our CareerBuilder team. I am so proud of the things we’ve accomplished together – far too many to recount in one email. Our work has changed an industry. Today, we are poised to do it again. You have the grit, passion and talent that a transformation like this needs – that the company needs.” Poised to do it again? Go look at the reviews on Glassdoor, Indeed and others. Look at how many execs and employees are gone. The culture is shot. You’re in a game that now includes Microsoft, Google and Facebook. The only thing I see that Careerbiulder is poised to do is sell off this company to the highest bidder. Ferguson leaving is textbook stuff for private equity firms who cut companies to the bone in the name of profits, not embrace innovation. Time will tell, but just as I predicted Ferguson’s exit months ago, I’ll go ahead and predict CareerBuilder will have a new owner a year from now. Be sure to tune into the weekly show for deeper opinion on news you hear on The Shred.
