About Getro: 

Getro is on a mission to become the platform of choice for making professional introductions by combining technology and human empathy. 


That’s nice, what do you do, though? 


We have two products:

  • GetroJobs, which automatically aggregates jobs across a network of companies;
  • GetroNetwork, which allows talent (active and passive job seekers) and companies to connect with one another, facilitating introductions and referrals within networks. 

Together our products provide all the quality that comes from a referral vs hundreds of faceless Linkedin profiles, with a UX that is built for employers, not recruiters, and doing away with all of the emailing, calls, and reminders that usually go into a referral request.


Our customers: 


We help 500+ independent professional networks — including venture capital funds (Kleiner Perkins), accelerators (TechStars), membership communities (Women 2.0), economic development organizations  (Techleap.nl), universities (University of Toronto), and more — make better introductions for their members, measure the outcomes of their intros, and in some cases, make money. 


Our team: 

  • Techstars 2017 graduates
  • Our co-founders have been working together in the recruiting space for the 'last 10 years. They’ve seen some things. 
  • Remote-first company, from 2018 (before covid) 
  • 22 team members across 9 countries 
  • As a fully remote company, we don't have offices, but we do get together virtually and in person Summits (before the pandemic: Germany, Cape Town, San Fran...) 


How we work:


We're ambitious, but realistic - we know anything worth doing takes time. We trust each member of our team to work when they wish, and from a location they choose. We believe in working smarter, not harder - we don't value presentee-ism and we're not impressed by long working hours. Above all, we value the contribution of each individual and take seriously our responsibility to enable you to work on things you love. These aren't just words - they're part of everything we do, including how we design our products.
