Ladan Davia is the CEO and Founder of BEEYA, a meta-search engine and employee matching platform that has partnerships with Zip Recruiter, Indeed and Nexxt.  She graduated from Chapman University in 2014– yes, 2014– with a double major in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science. Ladan’s dream, or so she thought, was to become a hard news reporter.  Fortunately, she realized before she graduated the lifestyle wasn’t for her. After landing a job at Entertainment Tonight she decided to scrap the TV thing altogether. It wasn’t until she started searching for another job online that Ladan realized something was missing. She spent hours browsing multiple job search sites and still couldn’t find a good fit for her professional interests.  Instead, she got recommendations for jobs to be a gardener or nanny. So, being the bad-ass 20-something that she is, Ladan decided to do something about it! She decided to use DATA to match job seekers with the jobs they actually want. What a concept, right? With her past experience as a co-founder of the test prep company Excelerate Test Prep and the help of some engineers, Ladan founded Beeya in 2015.  So, press PLAY and learn how you can search for the jobs you WANT or even start your own business in your 20’s!
