Great candidates expect a thorough interview 💭
If you’re a recruiter checking boxes you won’t succeed long term.
Candidates use the quality and depth of interviews to make an informed decision.
Structured interviewing works!
The most overlooked aspect of making a great hire:
Hiring Manager Fit 🤝
If candidate & manager clash because of manager’s leadership style, the hire will fail regardless of their capabilities.
Recruiters, understand this early!
3 Timeless Hiring Principles
1️⃣ Define clear performance goals
2️⃣ Use these goals throughout your job ads and interview process
3️⃣ Find talent that’s done comparable work
Not easy, but simple.

2 skill sets that are often undervalued when hiring:
Curiosity & Flexibility
Some of my highest performing hires have had a thirst for knowledge and ability to pivot quickly.
Been awhile, but I'm bringing back #StartupHiringTips!
When opening up a new role, determine how much Building vs. Maintaining you need.
i.e. Do you need someone to write recipes, or follow them? Think critically about the biz needs and design the interview process accordingly.
THE BIG TAKEAWAY:
In business, most people communicate the way they WANT to be communicated to and don't think twice about what others want. It shouldn't be this way.
Understand others' business love languages and you'll 10x your relationships.
Lmk if you try this out!

Some personal news: I have hung up my hat at my second shift and I am no longer doing any free diversity, equity and inclusion work. That means no more “quick chats” or “let me pick your brain” or “don’t worry the coffee is on me” convos. I’m charging for my time now — it’s wild.
Imagine moving 3000 miles away from your friends and family to go work your dream job at your favorite company. 🚀
Then, that company goes under 9 months later. 😬
