Hitting 1k stars reminds me of how I chased stars (naive me), forced projects, and failed. It all came when I focused on solving real problems and helping others.
Thank you to all the users and contributors. Wouldn't have been possible without all of you :))

One question we kept hearing on Grapevine:
How do the people who hire the most actually hire?

The idea was simple.
Stop letting founders hide behind the usual script when they talk about talent and hiring.
Tal’s Pod starts there.

Here’s what that actually sounds like (full link in next tweet):

[Saumil @OnTheGrapevine]

We are launching a new podcast.

It solves for ONE VERY SPECIFIC curiosity: How do India's top Founders/Directors/VPs/Hiring managers hire?

Ep1 starts with someone who's hired/helped hire hundreds (1000s?) of people within the last 3 years

@elonmasttttt talks to Varun of Mesa

EP 1 drops today: https://t.co/t2evsMWJz9

Tal is the only jobs app that will recommend a specific hotel on the ORR before your interview at Swiggy because he wants you to avoid traffic. Proactively.

In this case he likes Novotel ORR

He gets to these topics proactively because he is designed to want you to succeed and think how someone in your life who truly cares about your success would think

“Where are you staying beta” is something your mom/dad/elder family member would have very naturally asked

[Saumil @OnTheGrapevine]

Chat, should we do this?

If this gets 50 likes, we will put up a life size Tal sitting on the balcony of our office
