About

>>  The WetFeet Story

WetFeet was founded in 1994 by Stanford MBAs Gary Alpert and Steve Pollock. While exploring their next career moves, they needed products like the WetFeet Insider Guidesto guide them through their research and interviews. But these resources didn’t exist yet—so they started writing! Since then, millions of job seekers have used the WetFeet Insider Guides and WetFeet.com to research their next career move.

In 2007 WetFeet became part of Universum Communications, the global leader in employer branding. Thanks to the integration of Wetfeet into the Universum group, Wetfeet products are now used by job seekers all over the world. In addition to ourInsider Guides and WetFeet.com, we produce WetFeet magazine, which features career advice tailored to undergraduate students.

>>  The WetFeet Name

The inspiration for our name comes from a popular business school case study about L.L. Bean, the successful mail-order company. Leon Leonwood Bean got his start because he literally got his feet wet: Every time he went hunting in the Maine woods, his shoes leaked. One day he set out to make a better hunting shoe, doing such a good job that his friends lined up to buy pairs of the boots. And so L.L. Bean was born.

The lesson we took from the Bean case? Well, it shows that getting your feet wet is the first step toward achieving success. And that’s what WetFeet is here for: to help you get your feet wet and take the right steps toward ever-greater career goals, whatever they may be.

>>  The WetFeet Methodology

We’ve designed WetFeet.com and the Insider Guides to help cut down on the time you spend doing job research by doing some of the work for you. Hopefully we can make your job search as painless as possible.

WetFeet's high-quality content is the product of hundreds of hours of in-depth research, critical analysis, and precise writing. We survey massive amounts of publicly available information and conduct dozens of in-depth interviews of rank-and-file employees who work for the companies and industries we cover. (We keep our company contacts anonymous in most cases to encourage candor.)

WetFeet writers—experts at reading between the lines—speak with company recruiting staff members to make sure you get accurate information about the recruiting process, compensation, and hiring targets. We also consult countless experts, from career coaches and networking gurus to authorities on professional etiquette and personal branding, in order to provide you insight on the latest trends affecting job seekers.

Each Insider Guide undergoes extensive editorial review and fact-checking to ensure that the information and writing live up to our exacting standards. And because WetFeet retains all editorial control of our Insider Guides, you can be confident you’re reading the unvarnished truth, not corporate PR.

We’re eager to hear about your experiences on the recruiting front, and we welcome your feedback (both positive and negative) about our products and services. Don’t hesitate to contact us at orders@wetfeet.com.
