  A friend of mine was laid off (https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/13/disqus-lays-off-11-as-it-p...). He spent time interviewing for a new job and found that it sucked. Companies move super slowly because recruiting/hr expects candidates to move slowly because of job and limited time. So he's finding candidates and companies willing to move fast.

  Founder here. We don't deal with fired. We connect people from SF startups affected by layoffs with local startups that can hire quickly. Getting laid off != getting fired. Recruiters want our candidates, but don't otherwise know how to snag them.
