Do you know the ROI of Memorable Experiences? Have you thought about it not just in your personal life but in the business world too? Once, for my daughter's 13th birthday, I splurged on tickets to a P!nk concert and even rented a limo for her and her friends. Sure, driving there would've been cheaper. But when I saw her surprise and joy, I knew I'd created a moment she'd cherish forever. Now, let's translate this to our businesses. We often get caught in the cycle of cost vs. returns. But sometimes, it's about the intangible returns. Like the joy on a team member's face after a surprise treat or the camaraderie built during a memorable team outing. These moments might seem like extra expenses, but they yield a unique ROI: - Strengthened bonds - Increased loyalty - Strong Culture - Unforgettable memories. When planning your next team event, don't just think about costs. Consider the long-term return on these priceless moments. Have you invested in such memories for your team? How did it turn out?

Are you supporting your team's specialties? Last night, we celebrated our daughter's best friend's 5th birthday with a family dinner. As the table was set and the food laid out, there was a buzz of excitement. The 'favorite' family dish, lovingly prepared by our friend's mother, was about to make its appearance. Not only was it delicious, but we also got a take-home bag at the end of the night! This experience made me think about the unique specialties each team member brings to the table. How do we best support them in showcasing these strengths? Much like that favored dish, our work methods are a blend of ingredients and processes. When these are harnessed by a specialist and shared with the team, we ensure that their valuable contributions are savored and appreciated long into the future. So, I'm curious: What unique 'specialty' does each member of your team bring to the table, and how are you nurturing these talents?

I can’t believe I’ve been at Deel for four months now. Time is seriously flying by and I couldn’t be more grateful I landed at a company like Deel for a few reasons. 👯♀️The People: I work with some of the most empathetic, humble folks. We have a team that’s innovative and flowing with creativity, which is why the people make me feel so lucky to be here! 🌎 Hire from Anywhere: in a world where we have so many talented folks everywhere, why limit ourselves to where we can hire? Hire the best talent, wherever they are. I love that I work for a company that’s mission revolves around this & helps support so many organizations with their international workforce. 🌴 Work from anywhere culture: why limit where your employees are working from?! Instead encourage them to find where they are most productive and not limited to exploration if that’s what their soul craves and I guarantee you, you have folks willing to work 10x harder for your organization to be successful. Majority care for Deel’s success here and it is so refreshing to see at a company! 😌 Deel as a company: It is not all easy, but when you are working for an organization where you truly believe in the mission & their product market fit - it makes waking up for work that much more exciting daily! Cheers to Deel! Excited to see how my journey keeps unfolding here! To my network: If you see a job posting that’s interesting to you, feel free to reach out to me to see if it’s a good fit!

Congrats to BrightHire on an amazing year. A few takeaways: - Speed is the most important thing in a startup. BrightHire has shipped new products and features at a torrid pace this year, further enhancing the value it delivers to its users on a daily basis and opening itself up to new customer segments. BrightHire’s customers know that they have aligned themselves with a product that will continuously evolve and get better and that when they are told something is on the roadmap they can confidently expect to see it soon. - Deliver value to your customers before they are your customers. BrightHire receives a lot of love from its users for delivering on its promise of making them more effective at their jobs, but also, more uniquely, from their not yet users because they make valuable contributions to the the broader Talent Acquisition community. This works because BrightHire genuinely cares about pushing the world of Talent Acquisition forward. BrightHire manages a slack group of hundreds of TA professionals — both customers and non-customers — and consistently puts out high quality practical content. For example, BrightHire has been openly sharing fascinating proprietary interview intelligence data (eg how interviews are conducted and what is discussed and by whom) in an attempt to help TA practitioners and the industry as a whole level up. By not keeping this data private, BrightHire has become a name synonymous with data-driven professionalism in talent acquisition. Companies who produce significant amounts of data as a byproduct of their product’s usage should contribute that data to the broader industry discourse, thereby placing themselves at the forefront of the most interesting conversations taking place in their field. - New category creation happens slowly then quickly. When BrightHire first pioneered the domain of Interview Intelligence, there was a lot of market education to be done. But a few factors have led to an acceleration in momentum that only gets faster with time: (1) After 75 glowing reviews on G2 (4.8 stars) customer acquisition becomes a lot easier. Almost any prospect BrightHire engages with could reach out to a first degree connection and get a reference on the product, and it is always easier to take a peer’s word for it than a vendor’s. (2) One underreported SaaS metric is when your user moves from one company to another, how likely are they to bring your software with them — I would bet BrightHire is in the top 10% of all companies by this metric. As your number of customers grows and you’ve been in market longer you naturally start to see more of this behavior. (3) The market is way more aware of AI now and individual users have felt the magic of AI-powered experiences in their personal lives and crave it in their professional lives. This leads to TA professionals now actively seeking out interview intelligence solutions, and when they do, all roads lead to BrightHire. Here’s to 2024! #talentacquisition #vc

I joined Statsig later than I hoped, but I still saw its three-year journey. 2020 was important for me. I became a better data scientist -- effective, pragmatic, and ironically, "are right, a lot" -- one of Amazon's leadership principles that I found most puzzling.  A big reason was building the conviction of the value of data through AB testing. After 6 years in PhD and 2 years at Amazon, I doubted if data really helped businesses. At Facebook, I learned it does. I used data to make key decisions and prove them with experiments. Such conviction is still paying dividends today. Facebook's AB testing tool was great, but I couldn't talk about it much. It was internal. When Vijaye R. started a company to make a similar tool, I interviewed him (https://lnkd.in/gGRqTjRg) and asked for a demo (https://lnkd.in/gnA_cjpy). Rewatching it today, you will find that the product has matured a LOT, but the technical insights and the mission remain the same. I believed in this business a lot, maybe more than most of the founding members. This tool needs to be built, and they're the right people for it. I wished them luck and continued my journey. Two years later, with all the learning and growth, I was back. It almost felt like gravity. Because Statsig is about the mission all along -- make data useful.
