Google HR Wiz Laszlo Bock to Launch Startup

The former human resources manager at Google who garnered legendary status is launching a startup. So reports Silicon Beat.

Laszlo Bock would only say that the startup is in “stealth mode” in an email to his friends and associates, but did give a vague hint of what is in store. “It hinges on a few ideas: that every job can have meaning, that if you give people freedom they will amaze you, that applied science (which I dubbed ‘people analytics’ a decade back) can illuminate the truth about what really makes people happy and productive, and that it doesn’t take a ton of effort or investment to make things better … but that you can make work better, everywhere,” Bock said in the email.

For now, Bock will work as a strategic advisor at Thumbtack, a startup with 500 employees that matches up consumers with service providers, such as plumbers and maids. So reports Quartz.
