It’s hard to believe that after nearly 25 years, today is my last day of work at the @gatesfoundation. I want to extend an extra special thank you to foundation colleagues & alumni for all they’ve taught me over the years & for all the ways they’re carrying this work forward. ❤

When we offered redo interviews, we saw more than 50% of candidates do better the second time — and that number jumped to 60% for Black candidates. 📈

This simple message Dutch put on the board in the #aztecs locker room for FAU game. As in defend like you do crash the boards make shots and out tough the opponent. That’s who they are and that’s how you come from 14 down to play for the national championship.

[Norwest @NorwestVP]

When @jeffreyspector and Mohit Bhende founded @karat, they had two goals: be successful and serve a purpose.

A decade into building their company, they still say the biggest lesson they’ve learned is that success and purpose were actually one goal. https://t.co/nACELqqBAE

What a great way to start off a Sunday. Go Jude (and Bill!)

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing - a talent piano tuner Bill Magnusson termed "Mozart level." https://t.co/njxydT6djB

[Jeffrey Spector @jeffreyspector]

What a game! Congrats Argentina and kudos to France — so hard fought. #penaltykicks https://t.co/8Gzz7GJoU1

[Jeffrey Spector @jeffreyspector]

Loved the @WSJ article about the psychology of penalty shots. I know I’m not the only one who wondered why Croatia’s players coolly made theirs while Japan missed, or why Spain failed on all 3 of its kicks. Applies to many high-stakes scenarios! #WorldCup https://t.co/0vlXEjLaBx

Check out my @karat co-founder @mobhende's predictions for 2023 – with thoughts around DEI, the recruiting model (and what must change), & the need to focus on candidates’ ability to learn (vs. skills/pedigree). Great read!

Check out my 2023 predictions for the #tech industry and hiring in 2023, based on my conversations with business leaders and looking at @Karat’s own data https://t.co/xPREWzMpzF
