🥠 Recruiting Fortune Cookie "The recruiter who builds trust first will always place faster than the one who pushes hardest."

The best recruiters don’t chase candidates, they build communities so candidates come to them. Agree?"

Recruiting Fortune Cookie: The candidate who seems ordinary on paper may carry extraordinary potential, your role is to see the spark before it ignites.

Candidate experience call out: “74% of candidates want pay transparency and 49% say job applications are too long. Are you simplifying and being open?”

Building @RamRakR reminds me daily: growth is never linear. Some months are rocket ships, others are rebuilding. The constant? Keep showing up.

3 recruitment stats to keep in mind this week: Average time to hire in the US = 44 days 63% of candidates drop off if the process takes too long Companies with fast hiring processes see 3x higher acceptance rates

@UTDMaI Onana

Realistically, who stops this team from winning it all?

@markgoldbridge Sell hin for whatever you can get!

So we've put a price tag of 30mil on Onana but no one will pay it. But Amorim is happy to keep him...yeah that makes total sense

Startups don’t die from lack of ideas. They die from lack of focus. Pick one problem. Solve it better than anyone else. Then scale. #startuplife #founderjourney

@Suhail Do you need support with hiring? Send me a message

PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.

@hnshah Hard truth, thanks for sharing

A startup is a mirror. What you see in it is what you are. If you seek control, it will control you. If you seek truth, it will reveal your blind spots. Most don’t like what they see. So they hire a team to look for them.

@businessbarista Worth a conversation

Do I give this guy an interview?

80% of job seekers say they won’t apply to a company with bad reviews online. Founders: candidates are researching you like investors do. Your brand isn’t just for customers, it’s for talent too. #recruitment #foundertips

@Jayyanginspires Life is about taking risks and betting on yourself!

I’m convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in their life and experience what it’s like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit otherwise they grow bitter with age.

@ItsAndraz Doing a minimum of 15 minutes yoga/stretching at the end of the day!

What is the best health habit you've started doing?

@russellbrunson Action allows you to learn, grow and build!

The difference between a dreamer and a founder? Execution.

@KevinSzabo14 This is great! Plan and execute. Keep it simple

Don’t quit your job just because you watched a motivational video on YouTube. Have a plan, execute the plan and when you know you’re ready, make the move, the wise take calculated risks.

Someone out there is living your dream life… Because they hit “Send” on an idea you’re still overthinking.

@KenGuient Overdelivery 💯 be honest in what you can and cannot deliver.

I'm a firm believer in value upfront and overdelivering. These days everyone has something to sell. Want to build advocates? Normalize overdelivering.
