Scaling a tech startup is thrilling, but hiring the right talent can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. I’ve seen UK and US founders spend months chasing the perfect dev or designer. What’s been your toughest hiring hurdle lately? At Imo Talent, we’re working on making this easier. I would love to hear your thoughts! #TechStartups #Hiring

Cold outreach usually dies for one reason: You’re asking for something before proving you think better than everyone else emailing them. Instead: Send a 1-page breakdown Doc showing the opportunity you see in their business. Like + follow + comment DOC and I’ll send it.

@XBrianDennis 🤣🤣🤣🤣

For almost 5 months, someone had been relentlessly pushing for a face-to-face meeting with me. At first it was easy to avoid the meeting because I was in Abuja and he was in Port Harcourt and I told him we could see whenever I was in Port Harcourt or he was in Abuja. Anyone who knows me knows I avoid physical meetings unless they are unavoidable, so I kept postponing. He even went as far as telling a mutual friend that I was being deliberately evasive. Last week after he failed to meet me because of my schedule in Port Harcourt, I suggested we simply handle whatever it was over Google Meet. He declined and said it was a serious finance discussion he wanted to talk about. Based on experience, I assumed this was serious capital, the kind of conversation people prefer to have in private. So I told him to meet up at 15 on Herbert and I showed up early and ready for a heavyweight discussion. This man came 1 hour later, sat down and asked me “Have you heard of Neolife?”

@AWSSupport my support case has been unassigned for three days. Please can you help?

@SmartChulo @asemota He says it as it is

@asemota “I just don’t think it is sustainable,as I really like food” This our uncle too honest 😂😂😂😂

Intermittent fasting is brutal. I woke up this morning with a headache and realized I had only eaten one meal yesterday. It is working; I just don't think it is sustainable, as I really like food. I am craving some hot Eba with Ognono soup, but I must wait an hour.

@DarrelFrater Thank you Jesus.

🙌🏿 COMPLETELY HEALED! The past 3 months have been a whirlwind since discovering that our daughter, baby Moriah, had hip dysplasia. Six weeks ago, we drove to OKC expecting to start a treatment that would require her to wear a brace for 3–6 months. To everyone’s surprise, the doctor said her hips were healing miraculously on their own and told us to come back to confirm progress. Today, we went back — and everything is completely NORMAL! No brace needed. We are so thankful for every prayer, message, and word of encouragement we’ve received. Most importantly, we give all glory to God for His goodness and faithfulness. 🙏🏿 Thank you Jesus for healing our daughter. ❤️

@Erefs @OurFavOnlineDoc Erefa, tobra?

“Our parents taught us to hate igbo people” Please 🙏🏿 stop roping the rest of us into your family madness. Kindly learn to personalise the insanity in your family. Next time just say: “My daddy Alhaji Jubril Olanbiwonu taught us his kids to hate Igbos.” Let it be very clear that it is your own parents that are specifically unfortunate.

Sometime no hardcore moves , just a 45 mins walk on the beach does the trick

Week 3 of our 8.5- week holiday and I’m becoming quite the movie buff, 😝Superman last week Friday and Fantastic 4 today. God knows what we will watch next week Friday.

On a call with a prospective client who also does standup comedy, he was cracking me up on the phone and his partner asked if they end up hiring with us, would the employee get on with his jokes. I told him we are the world’s happiest people 😊

Quick tip for tech founders scaling up: Skip the generic coding tests and try collaborative problem-solving sessions instead. It reveals how candidates think in real team scenarios. We’ve noticed it leads to better long-term fits in fast-growing squads.

I had a great time speaking with Katie Allen on challenging Biases. Have a listen if you can. open.spotify.com/episode/0DloAM…

@sammcallister @monzo Tide bank does this as well

Very clever UX from @monzo. If you take any phone call and open their app, they add an orange warning gradient to help warn you of scams.
