Amid Talent War, Limos.com Tries "Speed Hiring"
Fresh from raising a $10 million Series A round from Austin Ventures, Limos.com LLC is riding high.
The San Francisco-based company, which operates an online marketplace for limousine services, has been profitable since day one, is tracking to do $12 million in revenue this calendar year and now has the cash to scale operations worldwide and go mobile.
Still, like any company trying to expand, growth doesn’t come without a few speed bumps.
Limos.com’s toughest challenge: Hiring.
“It reminds me of 2000,” said Chief Executive T.J Booker, who was the first employee Hotwire.com hired back in the dot-com bubble days.
