@FoundersPodcast I always get torn with the while A player, B Player etc vibes. - people have ups and downs in life - if you consistently hire A players company comes with challenges those As will move to B as the bar raises so therefore no longer A players - When hiring no one is 100% fit

The Spotify layoff show that anyone can be impacted by layoffs and they can happen anytime. The best thing to do is ensure that you have developed a network that you can leverage when crisis times hit. Building a network is hard but really important when hard times come.

A real top skill in interviewing is the ability to probe. I see too many interviewers ask questions get the responses and then move on with another question. Missing so much data and insights when doing this and not mention a potential bad hire #Recruiting #interview

Just posting a job advert on your careers site won’t ensure you find the best candidate. Posting the role on LinkedIn won’t generate the best results either. You need to be able to network and think outside the normal application funnel. - Use the existing team for

Job hunting is tough. It’s a full time job. Make sure you also take care of yourself and get some time with your loved ones, family and friends. The time to decompress will help you focus when you decide to continue the search. It helped me hugely.
