About us
Undercover Recruiter launched in 2009, set up by Jörgen Sundberg out of frustration with the lack of transparency and personality in recruiting content. The mission has not changed: uncover what really goes on behind the scenes in recruiting, and look ahead to where it is going. The site is part of Link Humans, the research firm Jörgen founded.
Over the years our content has been referenced by Bloomberg, The Guardian, WSJ, Wired, Fast Company, Business Insider, Inc. and Entrepreneur, and by companies including Salesforce, HubSpot and Glassdoor. Brands we have worked with include Dropbox, LinkedIn, Adecco, Lever, Jobvite and Breezy HR.
Advertising and partnerships
We are not taking on new advertising or sponsored content partners right now, and we do not accept paid placements in our software rankings. If you are a software vendor, the best way to be considered for our buying guides is to build a product HR teams love.
