36. The Data Products team
• All large marketplaces are data companies…!
• We have the biggest closed-loop online dataset of jobs
and job seekers in labor history!
• We have tremendous data on each of our users, and yet
in some ways we know frustratingly little about them!
• … so we created the Data Products Team!
• Our mission: to put data at the heart of the company: build
data products rather than “just” using data to guide
products!
• 3 Stanford CS PhD alumni, 2 Economics PhDs from
Harvard and MIT, plus a team of developers!
• Product examples: search, recommendations, reputation,
fraud detection!
