Reporter Wang Lixin

On October 25th, Pulse held an 8th anniversary celebration with the theme of "Riding the Wind and Waves to Infinity". At the event site, Lin Fan, founder and CEO of Pulse, shared the latest operating data of Pulse and expounded the company's mission vision, value proposition and corporate values with hundreds of employees.

The data shows that as of now, the number of pulse users has reached 110 million. In the past year, in the recruitment business, 7.18 million workplace people have been provided with headhunting services and more than 3,000 employer brands, a figure that increased by 200% over last year; recruitment business revenue increased by 259% year-on-year; in terms of content communities, the number of user posts reached 5.7 million, a total of 8.6 billion information consumption; in the new economy, the monthly active volume increased by 50%, of which the education industry increased by 200%, new energy vehicles increased by 100%, and auditing increased by 80%.

He also revealed that since last year, the active growth rate of the education industry on the pulse platform has been 4 times the average industry growth rate, creating the highest growth rate of the new economy industry. What makes more sense is that by accelerating the flow of information and opportunities through the pulse platform, we create value and solve problems for users and the industry.

Referring to the original intention and mission vision of the founding of The Pulse, Lin Fan said, "At the end of 2013, some investors gave us advice: Are you considering acquiring Kuaishou? The track for short videos is good. However, merging means doing pan-entertainment-related products and services, not doing career- and growth-related things. Before making a decision, I tortured myself over and over again: Why did I do the pulse in the first place? ”

"I want to do a track that is different from my lifestyle, and I want to do something related to growth for ordinary people." Lin Fan reiterated the value proposition of The Pulse that ordinary workers should have the right to equal connection, the right to equal expression, and the right to choose career and development equally. "That's what it was meant to be, but it was slow and difficult to achieve."

"We will not stand on the cusp, but we will choose to stand on the right trend." Regarding industry trends and future development, Lin Fan stressed that in the next decade or even longer, he hopes to continue to walk with simple and long-term value people to create greater value for users, the industry and even the whole society.
