The Platform Built On That Patent
The auction model in the book is running today inside TalentXi. On a $10,000 30-day pilot it delivered 75–115 conversions at $87–135 each against 20–35 conversions at $285–500 on job boards.
About Jason S. Gorham
Jason S. Gorham is the inventor of programmatic job advertising and Co-Founder of TalentXi. His pioneering work — the first in the industry to integrate job search engines with sponsored job advertising — is described in U.S. Patent Application US20070162323A1.
In Jason's account, the auction model described in that patent went on to shape how sponsored job advertising works across the industry today.
With 25+ years of talent acquisition experience across Fortune 100 companies including Truist, Unum, Aflac, Office Depot, and Ingevity, Jason has shaped how enterprise organizations think about recruitment technology, talent strategy, and scaling hiring operations.
This book is the story that the industry's largest platforms have spent over a decade not telling.
