Getro

Getro operates as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider, specializing in tools that help organizations leverage their professional networks for talent acquisition and relationship management. Founded in 2016 by Evan Walden and Raul San Narciso, with Maveric Real later joining as a co-founder and President, the company emerged from the founders' previous experience in the recruiting industry. They observed that the most successful placements consistently came from trusted referrals, which led to the development of Getro after participating in the Techstars accelerator program in 2017.

The company's core business revolves around providing white-labeled job boards and private talent network solutions. This allows its clients—primarily venture capital funds, startup accelerators, professional communities, and economic development organizations—to create their own branded platforms. These platforms automate the aggregation of job postings from their network's portfolio companies, ensuring the job board is always current and saving significant administrative effort. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model, with pricing tiers often dependent on the number of companies whose jobs are being aggregated. Notable clients include firms like Techstars, Lerer Hippeau, and Accel.

Getro's product suite is designed to streamline the connection between companies and job seekers within a closed network. Its main offering, GetroJobs, provides a customizable and searchable job board that integrates into a client's website. Key features include automated job scraping, detailed analytics on job posting performance, and tools for employers to manage listings. An additional product, GetroConnect, functions as a talent network and relationship management tool, helping to facilitate warm introductions. The company also offers an API for real-time job posting data, which can be used by recruiters to generate leads. A distinguishing factor is the emphasis on facilitating high-value introductions within a known network, rather than just operating as a public job aggregator.
