On this week’s pod:

• Background check solution (zzzzz) Checkr now has a $4.6 billion valuation after raising $250 million.
• Workstream and TalkPush are making big waves in the messaging space – one of which hopes to turn Instagram into a recruitment juggernaut!
• Then Solo, a well pedigreed and funded Seattle-based startup that is empowering gig workers to make more.
• And who wins the DARWIN AWARD this week? ZipRecruiter or LinkedIn?

Enjoy another enlightened episode, powered as always by Sovren, Jobvite, and JobAdx.
