Talent strategy is broken.

Most CEOs think they just need a better talent strategy. Few know what it really means.

The truth is 80% of startups have no talent strategy at all.

What is talent strategy? ➡️ 🧵

@dmccarthy7 I take great pride in being in the dumbest 20% of people at @getalembic.

[Logan Pugh @loganpugh]

So fascinating to watch this team make this kind of progress in a matter of weeks. It's always cool when new products are announced. Even better to get to witness how they come to life. The team that built this @getalembic is growing.

I often joke that CEOs are just glorified recruiters — what I fail to mention is that finding hidden gems and watching them grow and kill it on the job is by far one of the most gratifying parts of the founder’s journey

The more hiring a startup does before reaching product-market fit, the less likely it is to ever reach it.

[Sukita Tapadia @Tsukita]

I develop an instant respect for those who put genuine effort into doing the assignment for any hiring process.

[Raj Kunkolienkar @kunksed]

Pro tip when you are doing assignments during any hiring processes —

ASK QUESTIONS!

Most candidates I see just blindly take the brief and turn around crappy work.

Legends ask questions to fill in the context gap and deliver great work.

[Logan Pugh @loganpugh]

@shriyanevatia @techdetjoe Weather small talk used to drive me bonkers. Now it's fun. This piece totally flipped my default.

The medium is the message.

[Nishi @nishipmurphy]

After spending almost a decade at startups, I’ve realized that org design is an underrated skill. A well thought out org structure is integral to revenue growth, hiring, and retention.

Org design says more about your company strategy than a strategy doc ever can.

[Logan Pugh @loganpugh]

@beondeck They finally stopped asking.

[Suhail @Suhail]

I think I’ve done 2,000 interviews. I've seen things.

AMA

[Logan Pugh @loganpugh]

@haralabob Yep. Exactly what @thycommodore @flexxchapman and crew doing with @KrauseHouseDAO.

[Lily Konings @lilykonings]

The shift in 1:1s with I replaced "How's everything going?" with "What's one thing that could be better?" is bonkers.

This is the difference between being open to feedback and seeking feedback.

[Katrina Kibben @KatrinaKibben]

Your interview process is a stupid secret to keep. This isn't a top-secret obstacle course, it's for a job and you want to hire people. Tell them what to expect.
