This week we catch up with Jon Walsh, co-founder of JobsinAdtech.com and founder of the industry's biggest WhatsApp groups, as we explore how to survive the adtech job market!

Jon, Julia and Kasey dive into why the industry was missing a job board, the success of Jon's WhatsApp groups and a finite answer on the most pressing issue of all: does pineapple really belong on pizza?

About Jon and JobsinAdtech:

Jon Walsh has had a 24+ year career in digital advertising, both as an entrepreneur/angel investor building various media sales companies in the space, and as a senior executive within corporates. In addition, Jon is a published author, contributing to the highly successful Understanding Digital Media series of books. In February 2021 he created a WhatsApp group to talk to other adtechers during the Covid lockdowns, which then grew into a global media and chat hub for the industry. These groups are now supported by industry sponsors.

Fuelled by a real enjoyment taken from creating a platform where the industry can gather and socialise, and from seeing what was and wasn’t happening in the industry, Jon co-founded JobsInAdtech.com, the first and only dedicated jobs board to help companies recruit better, faster, and cheaper than all previous methods.

JobsInAdtech.com was created to fill a gaping hole in the recruitment process in the advertising technology industry. Despite the industry being almost 30 years old, adtech has had to rely on personal contacts and LinkedIn in order to help companies find candidates, and candidates find companies.

JobsInAdtech.com was soft-launched in April 2023 to aid candidates who are already in the space to find which recruiters have vacant roles available and apply with ease. The company is a full supporter of all forms of diversity and inclusion, and continues to champion this on the frontline for companies that share their values.
