Warren Bare - Biography

Warren Bare is a successful serial entrepreneur that loves changing the rules. His current company, Jobkabob, is growing quickly and helping change the way people look at Internet recruiting.

The road to revolutionizing the “job search” in the U.S. actually began for Bare in the mid 1990’s, when he launched Headhunter.net. At the time there were already dozens of well established competitors including Monster.com, but Bare broke into the space by introducing a disruptive pay-for-position business model, which has since become very popular with search engines. Headhunter grew quickly and was purchased after the tech bubble for $200 million. Headhunter is now known as CareerBuilder, the largest US revenue producer in the online recruitment advertising space.

After Headhunter, Bare launched InJesus, an Internet company focused on helping Christian missionaries and ministries communicate. This space also had competition. While InJesus was launching, Christianity.com raised and burned $50 million and Crosswalk raised and burned $30 million. With millions of active users, InJesus is now the largest Christian communications network on the Internet.

Frustrated that the 10 year old Internet recruiting industry was still broken, in 2004 Bare launched Jobkabob to change the way people find jobs. His goal was to create an employment search engine that was as effective in finding the right job as a small niche site or a personal recruiter, but that had access to candidates and job opportunities on a national scale. Jobkabob is now growing quickly and working to become a new Internet recruiting market leader.

Warren Bare graduated in 1987 from the University of South Florida with a major in finance and a minor in economics. He currently resides in the Atlanta area with his wife and their four sons.
