I was originally motivated to create "Your People" while looking for work. I took my resume, tailored it to what I thought would be most relevant based on the job description, and was quickly turned down. When I asked why I had been rejected, the recruiter said, "Well, you didn't have experience with 'X' technology." Except, I did have experience! Years of experience! But because it wasn't highlighted in the job description, and because I only had two written pages to communicate my long career history, I missed out on the job. What I really needed was a resume that a recruiter could ask questions to directly. Then I got to thinking about when my wife and I were shopping for our current home. We were very diligent buyers and wanted to know everything about each house, their neighborhoods, the schools...all of it. As long and as detailed as the MLS listings for each house might be, we would inevitably spend hours and hours just calling around to different listing agents asking them questions. Then I started thinking how it must be from the real estate agent's perspective! How many calls must they get each day, with each different person asking questions, some the same as other people, and some unique. An MLS listing is meant to be eye catching, and a wall of text addressing every buyers most detailed question is anything but. What those realtors need is a listing that can provide answers and relay new questions back to them. And so, thus was born "Your People". Just like in the Hollywood films when two characters hit on an idea and say, "Have your people call my people..." to work out the details, "Your People" is intended to be that agent (in the Hollywood sense) to work out the details for you.

Your People

Now anyone can say, "Have your people talk to my people!"
