Quotes:

“What’s really interesting, and kind of surprising, is that the rest of the world has become obsessed with work. . . . I don’t think the HR community has realized quite how much that means other vendors that aren’t traditionally HR vendors are going to take a very, very big interest in the space.”

“Fast forward five, six years from now and I think some [newer HR companies] are going to be much bigger and they’re going to attack some of those niche areas [that others haven’t gone after].”
