Bryan Starbuck’s Summary

TalentSpring, Inc. (http://www.TalentSpring.com/) allows employers to select one of their job openings and go immediately to the best active and passive resumes. TalentSpring uses semantic matching algorithms to find resumes that match all of the criteria for a specific job opening.

I focus on building a company with a high performing team to build commercial products in software as a service.
