What happens when I join the Talent Pool?
This talent pool isn’t actively monitored, however, when we start hiring for a new role, this is our first stop before advertising anywhere else.
So I'll basically be jumping the queue and joining the VIP list?
Exactly! We are always looking for people who are passionate about our product and mission to make education accessible to all. So if you are and want to be a part of our journey, we want to talk to you first. This also means less time searching for candidates for us and a faster interview process for you - it’s a win-win.
About us
Not so long ago our founders, Gauthier and Matt, were students struggling to pay for textbooks, like so many of their peers. Textbook prices continue to skyrocket, leaving students unable to afford the resources they need. Some students resort to piracy and second-hand books, but many others are priced out of the education system altogether. This not only limits student’s access to knowledge but also leaves researchers, authors and the publishing industry at a loss. Perlego was born to provide an affordable (and sustainable) textbook solution for learners around the world, by partnering with publishers and removing the costs of print, distribution, and retail markup.
We are honest and open about our business, what drives us and what keeps us up at night. We’re young and have a lot of growing to do, but we can’t do that alone. By sharing our journey with you, we can build a product that people love.
