Another week, another round of layoffs. It's disheartening to witness the ongoing impact on individuals and communities. But amidst these challenges, there's an opportunity for small and midsize companies to make a difference. Now is the time to capitalize on the remarkable talent available from successful companies. These individuals bring invaluable experience in navigating big business landscapes, understanding diverse cultures, and driving results. Our advice? Target impacted employees regardless of location, give remote work a shot, and be open to adjusting salary structures and location considerations. Let's seize this moment to build resilient, diverse teams, and pave the way for a brighter future.

#thankyou For all the lovely messages last week checking in to wish me luck on my first day, seeing how the first week went & generally just being the usual wonderful lot that you always are.. Awfully poor form on my part, amidst the hurly-burly of onboarding (which was super slick by the way!), training & all that exciting stuff, I inadvertently turned my back on LinkedIn! 🔙 So, without further ado *drum roll* I'm at Capital on Tap. No shameless sales plug 🔌 in this post as this is more of a 'thank you' but hey if you're curious you know what to do (click it!) Still in my ever beloved Shoreditch, about three minutes from my previous office to be fair, I never seem to stray far from these streets. The candidate experience was on point ➡️ from that very first call through to last week's knowledge dump, I am now chomping at the bit to crack on this week.. Superb opportunity, cracking bunch of people, top notch product AND the snacks, you should see the snacks! #newchapter #newjob #newboy #fintech #tech #techsales #shoreditch #businessdevelopment #bdm #salescareer #mynetwork #network #cheers

I work at a company I didn’t want to join - felt like too big a risk. Here’s why I was unsure - 👉🏽 Is it stable? COVID laid waste to a lot of startups. 👉🏽 Startups are known to be toxic - I couldn’t work in another toxic job. 👉🏽 What if the role is boring? What if the category is boring? Now, it’s been 2 years at Leegality and I'M GLAD I DECIDED TO TAKE THE LEAP OF FAITH. Here's why - 👉🏽 When others were laying people off, Leegality kept on hiring - a testament to our business and product. 👉🏽 I couldn’t have found a better place to work - great people, fair compensation, and freedom to manage your own time. 👉🏽 The work we are doing at Leegality is anything but boring - there’s always something new and exciting. Personally, these have been the best 2 years of my professional career. Here’s to the future, cheers! PS - To everyone who's asked me - no Accidental CMO is not about my current role.

Who do people work for...? PEOPLE! 🙋♂️ At Juvo, we consistently put an emphasis on the 'human' approach in the hiring space. 👎As a hiring manager/business owner, you can't expect to throw out a job description into the wild and expect the talent to come crawling. ✨Add a touch of your personality, showcase the workplace environment, and BE HUMAN. 👀See what our CEO, Mark Emery, has to say about putting the humanity back into hiring.

Having a founder as your hiring manger is an advantage in many ways: from quickly understanding the business, to staying on top of all updates, and getting great details to impress your candidates with your pitch. The challenge in it is matching the candidates ' motivations with the motivation of the founder. Marián Ruiz tackled that challenge at Medbelle two-sided: On founder side - Discussing the ideal answers to the questions beforehand - Working with score cards that have their criteria defined in details On candidate side - Make sure motivation aligns with the vision - Make sure candidates did their research and know their motivation Are you looking to bring recruiters onboard for your hiring?

The Friday before a new hire's start date... There are nerves. Think about the last time you were a new hire and all the stuff that was on your mind. So we have two new hires starting in Dallas on Monday, and I texted them both to make sure they have everything they need. And I also volunteered that "hey you will also have a fellow new hire joining on Monday and they're awesome and you'll love meeting them and you're probably going to be best friends." The responses were full of "Yay!"'s and "I'm so excited!"'s and "OBE is awesome!"'s. And we have two new hires ready to go. And they are about to have a new best friend. Because #candidateexperience. And in related news- OBE is awesome. The end :). #nowhiring #OBE #recruiting #recruitinglife #companyculture #recruitingdifferently #dallasjobs
