One of the things I'm most proud of as we scaled Airbnb's recruiting process during hypergrowth is that we never let our obsession with candidate experience waver. If anything, it got better as we scaled. How? We... - Invested in a top tier recruiting coordination team. They are the real front-line of the whole thing. - Broke the entire candidate journey down and infused Airbnb's values into the experience. We didn't just talk to you about "being a host". You felt what experiencing a good host was like. - Personalization: When you walked into the office, you felt like we expected you, and you weren't just a number. Things like your name written on the whiteboard with a note, a printed schedule with your interviewers and the areas of focus etc. As we scaled, we didn't drop this, we just found a better process that could flex with the volume. But why did we do spend so much energy on the candidate experience? Simply put, we knew that how people felt during our interview process was a direct reflection on how the company would treat them once they joined. A company could out-compete us on any number of things, but we knew very few could beat us on making people feel like they BELONGED. Turns out that is inherently valuable to people. Now that I get to work with startups, I feel it's even more important to double down on an amazing candidate experience and try to infuse many of the specific tactics I learned at Airbnb into our guides. Albeit a lot scrappier, the same commitment to the candidate experience can be applied. #hiring #recruiting #techhiring #techrecruiting #candidateexperience

Why do some people land high-paying job offers ($180k+) in Australia so easily, while others keep struggling? 🤔 After years of connecting with top talent and hiring them, I've noticed that those who consistently land these offers often share two key strategies: 1. Plain, outcome-focused resumes They don’t list responsibilities – they focus solely on outcomes. 2. Strategic networking They proactively activate their community and regularly connect with their network. It's important that you get your resume sorted before moving on to networking. Here’s the truth: When you reach out to your network, you unlock options you may not even know existed. In fact, a large proportion of top hires in many companies were recommended by someone internally before ever applying. That introduction may not happen if people don’t know you’re exploring options 🥳 Question for you: Have you ever landed a job through a referral or by tapping into your network?

❗ To the HIRING MANAGER wanting to secure the top APAC talent right now AND not lose out to your competitors. ❗ Three months ago, I was speaking to candidates who were only in ONE interview process, yours. This is no longer the case. Come September, I am now speaking to candidates on a daily basis who are in two, three sometimes four processes. Here are FOUR key things to follow to avoid losing out on top talent: ➡️ Speed - Long interview processes, unnecessary time to provide feedback will mean that you will lose out. Period. ➡️ Low-balling - Set the tone and build the momentum with a compelling and competitive offer. ➡️ Selling - Learn and breathe selling your business to candidates as much as you do to your customers. ➡️ Awareness - Post-covid companies compete on much more than just salary, product, brand. Are you on par with what your competitors are offering? This post might seem annoyingly obvious, preaching to the choir almost, but I can guarantee, often isn’t actually practiced. ✅ Be quick. ✅ Be compelling. ✅ Sell your worth. ✅ Know who you are up against. What else do you do to beat your competitors in the race for top talent?

Yup! Travel broadens the mind. Here’s a parallel take for today: If you’re in Tech it’s just about time to look into non-Tech industries. Heavily and Deeply. The money is in solving real life problems not being smart. Probably always was. Or let me restate maybe: If you’re in <industry X> it’s just about time to look into <non-X> industries like there’s no tomorrow:) Good luck building. 🚀

As external recruitment partners, we work closely with hiring managers and internal TA teams, many of whom have been through the wringer in terms of navigating hiring freezes, downturns, and layoffs and are now finally turning a corner. If that's you; quick reminder to review your hiring protocols meticulously. An unforeseen two-week background check or unexpected stakeholder involvement who has differing views on what the position needs can cost you a rockstar applicant. Top candidates are always sought after and won't appreciate curveballs in the hiring process. #HiringTips #Recruitmentlife #TopTalent

Hey companies...why is Dec/Jan the best time to kick off a hiring search? Because others aren't. A lot of companies are heads down driving towards the end of the year, with a soft slow down mid-Dec and then many (in Australia) aren't fully up and running again until the end of Jan. But guess what? Job seekers are ACTIVE. They're thinking about new year goals, many are hungry for something new, and they are not logged off. 💪 Strike while you have the advantage. 💪 Strike while the momentum is high and the competition is low. 💪 Strike early if you want a their start date before Q1 ends. If you want to chat about what that might look like and how to prepare now, reach out for a chat. I have space for one more client who wants to kick off a search in Dec/Jan. JOB SEEKERS...do you agree? Add an emoji or comment below to tell companies what you think or if you disagree and are also planning to be offline until end of Jan. #hiring #startups #letsgo Series Build ----------- I'm Tova, the founder of Series Build, helping Australian startups hire exceptional talent and bring more diversity into their teams.

"Would you like to promote your business on the very best platform for free?" A question for any #NeuroTech start-up leaders in my network (along with any other company leaders for that matter). "What is this platform?" You're on it right now. Take the US for example - where the majority of Start-ups in my market are.... It's by far the global leading country in the use of LinkedIn. As of April this year, LinkedIn had an audience reach in the US of 230 million users. That's a massive 69% of the population! Specialist industry publications are great for promoting your cause, but show me any professional media platform with a wider reach than LinkedIn. You need to be showcasing your business here. Of the circa 350 NeuroTech start-ups I'm aware of, only a fraction of them are doing this. Some of those are in stealth mode - sure - but those looking for exposure, frankly it's madness if you're not promoting your business on this platform. All of your target audience are here: 👉 Patients 👉 KOL's / influencers 👉 Investors  👉 Physicians 👉 Strategic partners 👉 Candidates / potential future employees etc.... How many followers do you have on your company page? Can you task someone with boosting this? You can invite 250 people per month.  Fill a virtual room with relevant people and spread your word. And that's just the start. It's not complicated. FYI apart from repeat business and referrals the majority of business I win these days comes from inbound inquires as a result of my LinkedIn content. Time to get onboard? PS. Shout out to Hoxo and Sean Anderson (and Simon Curtis) for enlightening me on the potential of LinkedIn several years ago.

🚀 The Recruiter Chat and feedback: Where Does It Go? 🧐 We asked how often you hear back after that initial chat with a recruiter, and here’s what you said: 🔮 56%: “Poof! Vanished, like magic.” 👀 22%: “A nudge later, they reply.” 🧚‍♀️ 15%: “I’ve got a feedback fairy!” ✨ ⚡ 7%: “Instant! Faster than my coffee.” ☕💨 Clearly, the feedback game is a little... unpredictable. But hey, candidates, don’t lose hope! A friendly nudge might just bring your recruiter back from the land of unanswered emails. 😉 And to my fellow recruiters, let’s be the 7% that breaks the feedback vanishing act! 😎 A clear communication builds stronger relationships, and who knows—your next follow-up might land you that perfect hire! 🙌

Recruitment and ChatGPT... Is it saving time or not?    Cover Letters and AI, we had a conversation with a client recently who is inundated with applications and great cover letters. He spent 6 hours in one day going through them!   The cover letters were getting him excited about the quality of applications... Until he viewed their CV's.    He couldn't work out why their cover letters were so great but their CV's and experience weren't hitting the mark..    ChatGPT, that's why. Here's an example of a advert we have going into ChatGPT, and here's your perfect cover letter...    Very easy, takes two seconds. Don't get me wrong, ChatGPT is a great tool when used properly!    But here he was 6 hours later and still not through all the applications... What's that opportunity cost with that time spent??   That's where we can help you, if you want to talk recruitment give us a call!
