🎤 Tech Week Takes 🎤 Fit over credentials. During SF Tech Week, CEO & cofounder of Puzzle 🧩🚀, Sasha Orloff, dropped this crucial insight: Don’t just hire based on resume checkboxes or big-name companies. The real value comes from finding people whose experience and mindset align with your company’s stage and culture. It’s all about building the right team for where you're headed. 🚀

As Rakim famously said, ‘It ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.’ Hiring should be aligned with where your company is in its growth journey and culture, not just keywords on a resume. We work with startups and high-growth ventures to create hiring templates that help your team find the right talent for your specific stage and culture. If this resonates, let’s connect and discuss how we can support your hiring efforts. Schedule a time: https://lnkd.in/gDvuBFtV

🚀 Aligning Talent and Projects to a Company’s Stage: A Key to Success 🚀 Whether you’re hiring for an internal employee or selecting an external team to partner with your startup or an enterprise, one size does not fit all. The needs of a fast-growing startup are fundamentally different from those of a well-established enterprise, and it’s critical to align the talent and projects to the company’s specific stage of development. Here's why it matters: 1. Understanding Growth Dynamics Early-stage startups are laser-focused on speed, experimentation, and finding product-market fit. This requires versatile, hands-on talent who can wear multiple hats and pivot quickly as priorities shift. For them, it’s not just about expertise—it’s about the ability to adapt and solve problems in real time. 2. Scalability vs. Stability For mature enterprises, the focus shifts towards optimizing processes, ensuring scalability, and implementing sophisticated strategies for long-term growth. Here, projects are often more complex, requiring seasoned experts who can bring deep domain knowledge and execute against established roadmaps. 3. Matching Resources to Maturity Whether it's providing lean, agile support to startups or specialized skills to enterprises, the key is to match resources to where the company is in its journey. Misaligned talent can lead to missed opportunities or stalled progress. But when the right team is aligned to the right stage, the impact is transformative.

🚀 Excited to share my latest video where I dive deep into my layoff journey and the challenges of navigating life as an international citizen with only 60 days to find a job on a H1-B visa. 💼 In the first month, just days after my layoff, I interviewed with companies like Pinterest, DoorDash, TikTok, and OpenAI, but didn't land those opportunities. In this episode, I open up about the ups and downs, the lessons learned, and the pivotal moments that shaped my path. 📺 This is part 1 of a series where I chronicle my journey—starting from day 1 of my layoff through to the day I join my next gig. I’ll be sharing key moments, lessons learned, and practical advice for those of you also going through layoffs or planning on switching jobs. 👉 Like and subscribe for more insights, and stay tuned for future videos! I'll also be covering coding and system design interview strategies, plus offering 1:1 coaching for anyone prepping for FAANG or other top companies. #layoffs #interviewprep #codinginterviews #systemdesign #FAANG #H1B #careeradvice

"We have an internal recruiter” Yes, you do! And they're probably awesome. 😊 But here's the thing... Many of the Scaling European Startups I work with also have amazing internal recruiters. But even superheroes need a sidekick sometimes, especially when: 🔸 That 3-person recruiting team became a solo mission 🔹 The req load is giving your recruiter anxiety 🔸 You’re breaking into a new market and need help understanding the landscape 🔹 Growth goals are ambitious (and so are deadlines!) I’m more of a band mate - I’m not trying to replace your lead singer, together we make the whole show better! If you're realizing your internal recruiter is overworked, or you're planning a big push into the US market and know you'll need extra support, let's chat! Recruitment needs aren't one-size-fits-all, so let me know how I can complement your in-house efforts

✏️ With the kids back in school, it’s time to get down to business! ✏️ As the summer winds down, now’s the perfect moment to refocus on your hiring goals. Whether you’re filling crucial roles or building your dream team, there’s no better time to make progress. Let’s turn your hiring plans into action and set your business up for success this fall.

While you don’t need to have technical skills, curiosity is key! The best way to learn about tech is by engaging with candidates and truly listening to them. Ask about their projects, what they’re working on, and how it all works. When you come across terms you’re unfamiliar with, take the time to Google them. Over time, you’ll develop a clear picture of how different technologies function and their applications. Candidates will appreciate that you understand their work, and you’ll be able to bring added value to hiring managers. Stay curious, stay informed, and you’ll see the difference it makes! #RecruitmentTips #TechRecruitment #CareerAdvice #StayCurious

Breaking into tech can be challenging, but remember, you're not alone. We're all facing similar hurdles. The key is to keep pushing forward and persevere, no matter what. Stay focused and keep moving towards your goals. Rejection comes with the territory so don’t take it personally, I got rejected by many companies before being hired by my first Fortune 500 company within days of being interviewed. Don’t get too tied to the result. Live, laugh, and don’t let setbacks set you back. The only difference between you now and where you want to be is time. #TechCareers #Perseverance #KeepGoing #TechCommunity #CareerGrowth
