# Omar Khateeb

> Omar Khateeb is the co-founder and CEO of JobPixel, a San Francisco video platform that drops TikTok-style, interactive video into the hiring process so candidates and employers can 'virtually shake hands' before a single interview. He started the company in 2020 as a remote-first, deliberately lean operation and grew it past $2.7M in revenue with a team that has hovered around 14 people. A UC Davis grad who once ran events for Instagram and sold for Cisco, Omar is a vocal believer that hiring lost its humanity to the 10-second resume scan, and he is on a mission to put faces and voices back into it.
