Mark US Now

What if something good happened every time someone applied for a job, whether they got hired or not?
In the very first episode of Mark Us Now, host Markus Lacher (co-founder and CEO of AEVIYA) talks with Jake Wilmes, Co-Founder of Hire Calling. After applying to job after job and hearing nothing back, Jake had an idea: get employers to donate to charity as candidates move through the hiring process. Hire Calling is the employer brand platform that grew from that idea.
In this episode:
• How a nap on the couch led to Hire Calling
• Why Jake spent months finding out which industry his startup belonged in
• "Hiring that gives back": donations triggered by interviews, phone screens and offers
• How impact cards show candidates what a company's hiring supports
• What surprised Jake most about being a founder
• How AI job agents could change hiring in the next 3–5 years
• Advice for new founders: "It's not what, it's who"
• How companies can improve candidate experience, from rejection emails to shorter interview processes
• How Hire Calling and AEVIYA could work together
