Episode 56: Ryan McCabe: “The Failed Engineer Who Pioneered VideoTech For The Recruitment Industry”

Recruitment Journeys: The Podcast Series from Mint R2R

Ryan McCabe was, in his own words and own admission, a failed engineer, then a failing Recruiter. But during his brief-ish foray into Recruitment, he has a lightbulb moment. With a wife seven months pregnant, zero evidence that his idea would work, but blind and unwavering belief, he founded Odro, and pioneered video-technology for the recruitment industry. In today’s candid chat, we chat with Ryan about the 7 year journey so far of launching a tech start-up from Glasgow, not the Silicon Valley, and how he set about getting the recruitment industry to start looking into camera phones all over the world. Hope you enjoy today’s chat.
