Sendouts was founded in 1999 by Donald E. Breckenridge Jr. and Richard B. Hall. Prior to launching Sendouts, Mr. Breckenridge and Mr. Hall owned a St. Louis-based software development company that managed full-cycle software projects and supplied onsite contract developers. As the company grew, it faced the challenges of hiring and placing new programmers and managing the hiring process from multiple office locations. In realizing an opportunity within the staffing industry for a web-based applicant tracking system, Don and Rick decided to wind down the software development company and use its seasoned programmers and knowledge of recruiting to create Sendouts. In 1999, Sendouts launched its flagship product, Sendouts Pro, which is now used by more than 900 firms worldwide.
