John Bourke is the founder of RecView, a product initially built internally for his recruitment agency Start In Recruitment as a way to showcase their candidates in a video first format. Raising a seed round through tiny seed last year has seen the product pivot to be an AI meeting assistant that captures data across, video, phone and in person meetings – all synced directly back to Jobadder.

John became interested in automation and later AI as a way to streamline his recruitment business and increase profitability per head. It’s this interest that lead to the creation of RecView which is now used by over 50 agencies worldwide. You can reach him directly on LinkedIn!
