So, @naturalpay just crossed 20 people.

We’ve never lost a candidate after extending an offer. We’ve also never negotiated total comp.

Given how important recruiting is to company building, I wanted to share a few things we’ve learned about how that happens.

[Kahlil Lalji @bykahlil]

Being in the flow of funds and monetizing on GMV or TPV is everything for companies building agents. Just wait

[TK Kong @tkkong]

We’re hiring for designers & engineers. Come work with me & @philhchen

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

@benln yes

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

@richzou @eglyman Hire people who give a shit. Understand that a resume isn’t the most accurate proxy for how someone might perform on the job.

@lennysan We are hiring PMs for a few of our product verticals, NYC, Ramp

my claude-generated codebase routing a single request through 17 abstractions and 4 accidental side quests

[sachin. @sachinyadav699]

how my codebase written entirely with claude code runs

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

wild that most "ai recruiting" products are just marginally better sourcing layers on top of linkedin. everyones busy building faster booleans, prettier outreaches, still just same optimizations inside the same 2009 workflow. a human has to open the ats, drive the next steps, decides when to re-engage. need to go from copilots for recruiters -> fully autonomous coworker

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

i no longer ask what’s our headcount plan

i ask what’s our token velocity?

anyway if you’re an engineer and this post sounds concerning, we’re hiring

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

the future of hiring is not more automation
it’s fewer excuses

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

@will__ye @tryramp really hit an even number and said that’s enough character development. good luck with everything sir

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

@chapello If your GTM strategy is replying to job posts, we might actually need to hire you… for resilience

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

@AdamSmielewski @tryramp 20% follower growth.

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

I just paid for X Premium and I have 5 followers. Three of them might be bots.

Anyways.. never been a social media guy.

I joined @tryramp as employee ~100 and its first tech recruiter. I've helped grow this engineering team from the ground up and have had a front-row seat to one of the wildest rides in tech.

Here to finally start documenting it and to connect with the incredible people who made it happen.

Drop a follow if you're in the Ramp orbit. I'm trying to find all of you. 🙏

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

@tryramp we don’t cap your token budget. unlimited tokens. go wild.

personally i’ve already burned through 400k tokens building an internal tool that rewrites recruiter outreach in the tone of a mildly disappointed dad

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

If you are considering taking a job offer, you may want to ask what your token budget will be.

[David Yi @davidyiworks]

@chapello @tryramp I've helped hire hundreds of people at Ramp. This might be the one I'm most excited to fill.
