If you’ve had a conversation with me in the past 5 years, you’ve likely heard me fangirling out about BrightHire and how much of a game changer it is. When I’m evaluating a vendor, I care about all the normal things (time to first value, ROI, usability, performance, etc.) but the secret sauce is always in the following areas: • How quickly are they innovating? Brighthire has consistently come to me with features that I didn’t even know I needed but now I can’t live without. Go check out Plan if you haven’t already. • How accessible is the leadership team? I have a text group chat with Benjamin Sesser and Theodore Chestnut • How knowledgeable are the PMs and Support team? Every time it feels like I’m talking to someone who is living in the Talent world. They just get it. I’m SO excited to chat with some phenomenal people about the Future of the Recruiter Role at BrightHire shine tomorrow.

Tori C. from Amazon just posted for a Principal Product Manager opening on their team. I am going to start posting less product manager roles on LinkedIn and start moving these posts over to Skool and this is because I am getting blown up by hiring managers telling me to stop posting jobs they are posting on LinkedIn. This didn’t make any sense to me until I started speaking with more hiring managers about how their inbox is blown up with just horrible messages. My mission is to help as many aspiring and experience product managers land their next product manager role, but y’all have to help me out by sending better messages. Sending a generic, “I am interested” or “I applied” or “did you get my application” offers no value and it won’t help you land your next product manager job. If anything it’s only leaving a negative or at best forgettable impression to somebody who just might be your future boss. So do yourself a favor and steal my message templates in Skool, follow up, and have real conversations with hiring managers. The biggest mistakes product managers are making beyond sending out bad messages is not following up. There is reason why we have included 8 follow up slots on the Airtable and that because you NEED to follow up with your applications. You already spent the time applying so you might as well maximize your list until you get a definitive rejection, because you are only one application and one interview away from landing your next product manager role. PS Stop overlooking the smaller companies and apply to them. Seriously! I usually get 3,000 to 6,000+ impressions when I post a product manager job for a bigger company; but I only get 900 impressions when I post for roles at companies nobody has heard of. There is nothing wrong with those companies and I challenge you to interview with them. God knows you need the practice. If you want other people to give you a shot, then you need to give companies a shot too. You want hiring teams to start treating you like a like human instead of a number, then stop applying and interview for product managers like they are another number. Your vibe attracts your tribe. #ProductManagement  #WhatBadEconomy #GameHasBeenElevated #EverybodyIsOutOnTheTake

It’s been 4 months since I left my perm Ops role for a voluntary sabbatical. I’m NOT retired. The plan is a 2025 return to work as a contractor for hire. If you anticipate burst support for any Ops or programs work, please reach out. Let’s compare notes. As for the sabbatical, many ask what keeps my busy. See my 2024 Sabbatical Bucket List. It’s kept me focused and productive. It’s been fun checking the completion boxes. No regrets. My book will be available this November on Amazon.com. I summed people management experiences and tips for others’ benefit. Too many top performers become people managers without having the necessary skills and are left unprepared to play this role. My book will help – especially those on point to write 2024 annual reviews. I’ll publish the book URL here once it’s ready. It hopefully plugs a content gap between HR guidance and real-world scenarios managers should expect to field with direct reports.

The Return to Office Debate: Amazon’s Approach and What It Means for Talent Acquisition Amazon recently announced that it will fully return to its pre-pandemic office structure, with CEO Andy Jassy confirming the shift back to in-office work for most employees. Having had the privilege of working at Amazon in the past, I know how integral collaboration is to the company's success. However, this move underscores a broader trend of companies navigating the balance between remote flexibility and in-person productivity. For Talent Acquisition professionals, this policy highlights how workplace expectations are shifting again. The challenge is finding candidates who align with your company’s approach while keeping retention high. How is your team managing this ongoing evolution? https://lnkd.in/gDB6nUGX
