We’re growing FAST here at Puzzle so we asked our recruiting extraordinaire Marissa Mata for some hiring tips. Grab your pen and paper, you’re going to want to take notes for this one. Here are Marissa’s 3 tips for scaling your team fast 👇 1. Use an all in one ATS that is designed for startups. It’ll help with sourcing, scheduling, feedback, and onboarding. It’s WELL worth the investment and will pay itself back with 1 key hire. 2. Utilize AI to automate certain hiring tasks. It can help you refine job descriptions and even review candidate backgrounds. 3. Most importantly… incentivize referrals! Marissa could not emphasize enough how helpful this is when you trying to build out a great team quickly. Hope this helps! ✍️

Founder: “I hired Paul after a 6-month-long search. But he quit after 3 months. So frustrating.” Me: “Your hiring process is broken.” Early-stage startups often make this critical mistake: They use lean methods for product development. Or hyper-personalised AI for outreach. But still stick to outdated approaches for talent acquisition. Why? Because they don’t treat jobs (or roles to be filled) as a product for potential candidates. Ask yourself: you wouldn't build a product without customer research, so why hire without talent discovery? You need to first understand what your ideal candidates look like, and what they really VALUE by talking to them (like you’re talking to customers)….. and only then can you set up the right messaging. Here’s how to do this right: –– Step 1: • Talk to ideal candidates, even if they're not looking • Ask: "What do you really crave in your work life?” • Ask: "What do you need from your company to thrive?" –– Step 2: • Listen to your current team • Understand what about your company keeps them engaged • Learn what would make them leave –– Step 3: • Determine your worldview and values • Create your employer vision • Create a value-proposition –– Step 4: • Conduct a skill-gap analysis for the position • Perform a values-gap analysis for the position • Approach potential hires with genuine interest –– Step 5: • Create messaging for the position • Speak in their language • A/B test messaging with ideal candidates –– Step 6: • Test candidates for their aspirations in life • Find out if they bring culture add and are adaptable • Test their skills, clearly communicate expectations –– Step 7: • Not a great match, yet? Iterate and improve • Treat hiring like product development • Continuously refine your approach based on feedback –– Step 8: • Create an exciting onboarding process • Develop a welcome-culture • Make new hires feel VALUED and integral to your company immediately –– Step 9: • New hire not performing well? • Identify the reason: is it you? Them? Can it be fixed? • If it’s not working out, do both of you a favour: terminate contract fast Spend the extra time to get this right and you’ll reduce your time-to-ideal-hire to weeks.

Attn: everybody! 🎉 This is Anneli Scopazzi kicking off Boulevard Recruiting’s initiative for recruiters to post twice per week on the company page starting next week through the holidays! Alan Leung will kick it off, then Brian Tully, then we’ll pass the baton. ➡️ Please follow Boulevard Recruiting if you aren’t following already! We are a people business, both individuals and relationships are important. Like any great recruiting process, our interview process filters for our values: #joy and #excellence. Striking the joy-excellence balance is tough. Our posts aim to show what that looks like, striking the joy-excellence balance over and over and over and over. By #excellence we mean in recruiting, and particularly in startup scaling. We have a good insight into the startup ecosystem, we are working with 20 startups currently. We’ve worked with close to 100 in the history of our company. So, we’ve seen lots of founders, investors and hiring teams. What does it look like when scaling is done excellently, and when does it need tightening? ❗️To protect privacy, any client detail will be totally anonymized. Recruiting is a #joyful experience, particularly when we get the offer accept. Moments leading up to the offer accept can be very painful. How do we celebrate the day to day wins, and not just the big wins, to stay motivated. We hope our posts will be a mix of insight, education, and simply fun too. We want you to get to know us, and hopefully someday we get to know you. 💙

Confession time: I’m guilty of judging founders 🙋♂️ Those ones trapped in an endless hiring cycle. They panic about team gaps, get overwhelmed by processes focusing only on active candidates, fail to nurture their hires, and lose them too soon. Then, they start all over again. Sound familiar? I’ve been there too—my endless cycle is with tech tools! Getting excited about new tech, missing team buy-in, and wasting resources when it doesn’t get used. I’ve found these cycles can be broken, often with a simple chat with someone in your network who knows what good looks like. So, if you’re stuck in a hiring loop, I’m here to help! Please reassure me I'm not the only one experiencing these cycles ☹️ Which ones do you see in your industry? Which ones have you fallen into?

How are you researching the talent pool before making critical hires? #HiringStrategy #TalentPool #AttractingTopTalent Video Edits by GrowthMatch

Struggling to find top talent? Here's the secret to winning the talent war. Work with a partner who actually knows what they’re doing.

Social proof matters. How many can back their claims with happy clients? Here’s what a Co-Founder and CTO of a Seattle-based startup said about working with us: "Fuel’s personalized service and deep understanding of our unique business and culture has made them an invaluable partner in our growth and success.” Success leaves clues. Next time you need help with hiring, make sure your recruiting partner checks all the boxes.
