Hosted a group of unbelievably smart Harvard and MIT students today in Cambridge! Hard to grasp how some folks are this talented at 18!

Welcome to the internet @caitlin_byrnes. Your weird corner of the world awaits you! 🫶

I’m in Talent because people contain multitudes. I love spotting what’s unusual in people and helping open the right doors for them. I’m getting better at sharing about myself too - here’s a bit about me: Bay Area born & raised. Formerly led People & Talent at Gatsby; now leading Engineering Talent at @AudaciousHQ. Endurance athlete. Irish dancing, then D1 rowing, then startups (with a side of long weekend hikes).  Drawn to people who appear to be “paradoxes,” like a gregarious engineer or an introverted talent leader. Excited to meet more builders/nerds here!

@caitlin_byrnes Welcome to X! Love nerding out with you and living real paradoxes everyday like quality and volume! Ha!

@hannahteter Wow! This doesn’t even look real!

Today in Lake Tahoe☀️

@ad0rnai lol

“we want a woman of childbearing age but with no baby so WE can be her baby”

@boristane Mission accomplished!

@hellosprice yep

do not, I repeat, do not challenge people on the internet

@ChristneKim @serval Exciting!!

When top talent sees the writing on the wall, they move. So excited to have this crew joining @serval businessinsider.com/eight-ex-servi…

@Clara_Gold Who’s gonna tell her?

We’ve reached a point where political correctness matters more than being honest about what a job actually requires. It’s ridiculous. I’d hire for the exact same criteria, especially the polemical ones. For a community role, of course I’d want a woman in her 30s without kids. Because that’s what works. Women get more attention, build stronger relationships, are more caring. In your 30s, you have the credibility to host, people trust you, respect you, and engage differently than with someone too junior. And yes, no kids. Most events happen at night, availability is part of the job. Parents, and especially mothers, have that time locked with their kids. That’s reality, not discrimination. And somehow saying this out loud makes you the asshole? Please.

@aishwarya_08 @boristane Same

@boristane I just annoyed it a bit 🤏🏽

1 week in, nobody managed to exfiltrate anything from this agent buildwithboris.com

@ZoeCatherineF @timourxyz 👏

The irony is this kind of thinking shows up on both sides. I’ve seen men and women get dinged for leadership roles because they weren’t married and didn’t have kids. Hasn't shown enough "personal growth". Then in other rooms, family responsibilities get used against people. None of it has anything to do with whether someone can actually do the job.

“Is a woman (ideally between 25 - 33 years old) and doesn't have children” 🤨🤨🤨🤨🧐🧐🧐

@caitlinbolnick1 I get it. But omg the hold it had on me in 2015!

I find the phrase "girl boss" repulsive.

Claude is being funny today but it would have been nice!

@liangsays This is what Ramp did in the early days and sounds like it worked really well!

jobs of the future don’t have jds the role wraps around the person

@hellosprice ran out of credits lmao

Something we don’t talk about enough: recruiting is one of the hardest functions to do exceptionally well. It’s easy to say, “just know the best people.” But that’s only the starting point. As a recruiter, you’re trying to align timing, compensation, location, scope, level, chemistry, product, market, vision, mission, team, partner buy in, mentor buy in, peer buy in. In this market, it’s not enough to know high quality candidates. You need candidate quality, pipeline volume, and actual actionability at the same time. That combination is rare. And pulling it off consistently is hard. We don’t say it enough: this job is hard. Cheering on all the recruiters doing it well.
