Rethinking How People Find Careers
Kathryn Minshew co-founded The Muse in 2011 to solve a problem she experienced firsthand: job listings told you almost nothing about what it was actually like to work somewhere. Kathryn Minshew built The Muse as a career platform that pairs job opportunities with behind-the-scenes content — photo tours, employee interviews, and day-in-the-life profiles — so candidates could see the culture before they applied. The approach resonated with a generation that cared as much about workplace fit as compensation.
Under Kathryn Minshew's leadership as CEO, The Muse grew into a widely used resource for early and mid-career professionals, serving millions of users and partnering with hundreds of companies to showcase their employer brands. Kathryn Minshew also co-authored a book on navigating the modern workplace, establishing herself as a thought leader on careers, hiring, and the evolving relationship between employees and employers.
