Why We Reunited at Yeogiattae

Yeogiattae is recruiting talented individuals through its 'Internal Referral' system, where employees directly recommend external talent. This episode introduces the background of how Billy, team lead of the Intelligence Platform team, and team member Josie came to work together again through this system.

Billy had previously worked with Josie for 2 to 3 years at a mobility platform. Josie possessed extensive experience ranging from model development to service operations, and Billy decided to recommend her, judging that her proactive personality would fit well with Yeogiattae's organizational culture.

Upon joining, Josie immediately joined the development of YAPP, the company's internal AI assistant. YAPP started as a Slack-based data retrieval bot and has since grown into an internal AI platform equipped with MCP and agent capabilities. Josie focused on improving YAPP's response quality and stability, delivering results quickly from the early stages of her tenure.

Josie was captivated by Yeogiattae's 'Just Try It' culture. While her previous workplaces were conservative about adopting new technologies, Yeogiattae had a strong atmosphere of quickly adopting the latest AI trends and not fearing failure. Additionally, the company-wide use of AI in work processes proved to be a significant advantage in terms of operational efficiency.

Billy provided an environment where Josie could lead the team as a senior member, and Josie was able to adapt quickly thanks to Billy's clear feedback. They assessed that because they started with mutual trust, they were able to integrate into the team much faster than a new hire typically would.
