Movista Inc. announced a strategic change to its organization, launching Capango Inc., as a separate entity. This change allows a stronger focus on the recruiting platform initiatives to get job seekers back to work, while simplifying the process for struggling retailers. Stefan Midford has been appointed President and will lead the new organization as it expands nationally.

“We are accelerating our focus on the changes required by the retail industry due to COVID-19 and are working to help job seekers find work they love with an optimized job search experience,” said co-founder and CEO, Stan Zylowski. “Leaning into our recruiting platform Capango has always been a key growth strategy. The timing is right.”
The Capango recruiting platform, which uses proprietary scoring algorithms to match workers with jobs, and features a mobile social app feel, was acquired by Movista in the 2019 purchase of Natural Insight. Capango launched in beta earlier that year and has had downloads by more than 35,000 job seekers. In addition, hundreds of retail employers have posted thousands of work opportunities.

Former CEO and founder of Natural Insight, Stefan Midford, imagined and worked with many retail organizations in the creation of Capango. “Our research identified an enormous opportunity to create a simpler, faster recruiting platform built for mobile workers in the retail industry. That process had not changed materially in decades and the challenges of the past few months make it even more important that we focus on helping workers and employers get back to work again.”
