StartupTAP (talent acquisition partners): Empowering innovation by connecting visionary ideas with exceptional talent.

[StartupTAP @StartupTAP]

1/ 3 hurdles we often hear VCs or leaders at startups in growth stages express concern about:

- Finding and hiring key people who can expand and grow brand + customer-base
- Maintaining company culture as priorities evolve
- Retaining talent once they’re onboard

Then we had a blast learning from @Stepleton6 and other leaders in content creation about what the future of the field looks like and how IRL experiences are integral to creators processes.

We had a DAY at #LATechWeek yesterday @Techweek_

Fortunate to take part in a dynamic series of events starting with coffee with the @SlausonAndCo crew.

As expected, the vibes were off the charts and we connected with a ton of incredible founders, VCs, and tech operators.

Popped up to Hollywood to “chill” and regather at the Founders Wellness meetup.

Our guy @yojustyn_ spent 3 mins in the ice bath 🥶 and enjoyed meeting other likeminded folks keeping physical and mental wellness at the forefront of their daily activity.

We’re honored to have @yojustyn_ represent us at @parkrangerscap’s launch party at #LATechWeek yesterday and loved this little touch! Who doesn’t love a handwritten note? So heartwarming!

Congrats @erica_wenger for bringing your idea to fruition. We’re excited to see you grow!

If you think talent acquisition is just about filling roles and the recruiting you couldn't be more wrong...

It's employer branding and recruiter social selling
It's candidate experience
It's training hiring managers on how to interview.
It's creating compelling job ads.
It's meeting with hiring managers to understand and advise them on what they are looking for and consulting them on how to do it.
It's creating job descriptions that articulate what you're looking for.
It's managing the candidate's experience through the interview process.
It's setting up a process with hiring managers for interviews.
It's managing expectations with all the parties involved in making a hire (hiring manager, candidates, executives)
It's negotiating an offer that works for all parties.
It's advising company leadership on how to make the hiring process more efficient with better technology.
It's implementing new technology.
It's interpreting data to create less bias and more efficient processes.

If you think Talent Acquisition is just filling a few empty roles you've underestimated it.

Talent acquisition let's stop downplaying what we do!!!

Know your value.
Communicate your value.

I'm working with recruitment teams on how to build personal brands that attract the right talent to give smaller companies the edge over big tech with brand recognition.

@Codie_Sanchez Nailed it!

Startup CEO = recruiter, accountant, HR, sales, QA, shoulder-to-cry on…

What else did we miss?

[StartupTAP @StartupTAP]

Especially true for startup CEOs.

But don’t forget you can always get by with a little help from your friends (i.e., us 😉)!

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

No one will tell you being a CEO really just means you are a recruiter for a living.

It’s been fun, DVD generation ✌️

"The DVD service, which still delivers films and TV shows in the red-and-white envelopes that once served as Netflix’s emblem, plans to mail its final discs on Sept. 29.”

64% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck, with a significant number of people being those who earn more than $100k/yr.

There are extremely tangible and difficult outcomes that will impact real lives across as a result of this.

Take care. https://t.co/p26VDbxqxp.

[StartupTAP @StartupTAP]

While we follow all of the chaos reverberating the tech + VC space right now just like anyone else remotely connected to those spaces, we want to send even the smallest amount of empathy to those impacted by these circumstances.
