The HR and talent tech market often falls short, largely due to the complexities surrounding people related processes, diverse company procedures, and unique team hiring rituals. I’ve encountered very few products that truly address the biggest challenges in hiring. BrightHire is one of the few that solve meaningful customer problems! Their AI functionality is game-changing, revolutionizing traditional recruiting habits and bringing transparency to hiring. We're excited to partner with Brighthire and leveraging such innovative technology to enhance our hiring processes. #rollthetape #TalentTech #Innovation #HRTech Rokt are hiring; https://lnkd.in/e9-p2biE

Wave is our all-in-one platform. It's the way for your organization to build your Dream Tech Team together, in just a matter of days.... But how does that happen, you ask? In simple terms, Wave acts as the glue that binds our business opportunities and talents together, featuring top tech talent from all around LatAm and Europe. Let's say I post your new project on Wednesday: by Friday, I'll be introducing you to a whole team of Silicon Valley caliber software engineers and marketing talent. At WillDom, we start by listening to your challenges and needs. Curious about how it works?

We came. We saw. We celebrated! The decision to bring RecFest to America wasn't taken lightly, never mind the sheer logistics of putting on a two day festival in a different country, would a US audience "get it"? Would they get the vibes, get the reasons, get that it goes beyond just a conference in a field? Well, not only did you get it, you rocked it! Never has an assignment been better understood than RecFestUSA. Over 1000 Talent Acquisition specialists came together for two days, saw what it means to be part of the RecFest story, and got to celebrate everything that makes it so special. Celebrate the learning, celebrate the community, celebrate you and your industry as a whole! You came for the content, and saw game-changing conversations and got ground-breaking talks. You came for networking and connection making, and you saw lifelong friendships being formed. You came to get a taste of the UK's celebration of all things TA, and saw history being made. It is the wild west out there in the Talent industry at the moment, and that is why it is so important that you, the people in Talent, get this time together. Time to grow, time to support, and time to celebrate, together! That's why we brought you RecFest. And your reaction to it, your whole-hearted enjoyment of it, is why we'll be bringing it back again. America, it's been an honour. We'll be seeing you again real soon. #RecFestUSA #talentacquisition #TA #Recruitment #RecFest

Congrats to BrightHire on an amazing year. A few takeaways: - Speed is the most important thing in a startup. BrightHire has shipped new products and features at a torrid pace this year, further enhancing the value it delivers to its users on a daily basis and opening itself up to new customer segments. BrightHire’s customers know that they have aligned themselves with a product that will continuously evolve and get better and that when they are told something is on the roadmap they can confidently expect to see it soon. - Deliver value to your customers before they are your customers. BrightHire receives a lot of love from its users for delivering on its promise of making them more effective at their jobs, but also, more uniquely, from their not yet users because they make valuable contributions to the the broader Talent Acquisition community. This works because BrightHire genuinely cares about pushing the world of Talent Acquisition forward. BrightHire manages a slack group of hundreds of TA professionals — both customers and non-customers — and consistently puts out high quality practical content. For example, BrightHire has been openly sharing fascinating proprietary interview intelligence data (eg how interviews are conducted and what is discussed and by whom) in an attempt to help TA practitioners and the industry as a whole level up. By not keeping this data private, BrightHire has become a name synonymous with data-driven professionalism in talent acquisition. Companies who produce significant amounts of data as a byproduct of their product’s usage should contribute that data to the broader industry discourse, thereby placing themselves at the forefront of the most interesting conversations taking place in their field. - New category creation happens slowly then quickly. When BrightHire first pioneered the domain of Interview Intelligence, there was a lot of market education to be done. But a few factors have led to an acceleration in momentum that only gets faster with time: (1) After 75 glowing reviews on G2 (4.8 stars) customer acquisition becomes a lot easier. Almost any prospect BrightHire engages with could reach out to a first degree connection and get a reference on the product, and it is always easier to take a peer’s word for it than a vendor’s. (2) One underreported SaaS metric is when your user moves from one company to another, how likely are they to bring your software with them — I would bet BrightHire is in the top 10% of all companies by this metric. As your number of customers grows and you’ve been in market longer you naturally start to see more of this behavior. (3) The market is way more aware of AI now and individual users have felt the magic of AI-powered experiences in their personal lives and crave it in their professional lives. This leads to TA professionals now actively seeking out interview intelligence solutions, and when they do, all roads lead to BrightHire. Here’s to 2024! #talentacquisition #vc

“You have to be really humble when you’re testing new products...” 😅 Ailsa Simpson is our Vice President of Product and caught up with Marketing team’s Lily to chat about her role, the process we go on to develop new products at Bright Network and why our employer partners are essential to our ability to build great tech. Watch below and stay tuned - we’ll be sharing more from the interview and what you can expect when it comes to the future of product soon 👀 #10YearsofImpact #BNturns10 #ProductDevelopment

I can’t wait for this event. From all my conversations with leaders recently about what’s happening at work right now, it’s clear everyone’s looking for an answer. The question? 🤔 How do we actually engage our team and create a more effective workforce? So, I assembled this line up to spark not just inspiration and ideas but action amongst the Learna community. You can read their bios and titles, but here’s what I think they really bring to the table: 😁 Stephen Graham: a mindset that combines creativity, speed and optimism. Always a smile on his face, he's no stranger to working with and building strategies for disruptive tech. 🤓 Steph Clarke: a fellow learning nerd, with boundless generosity and curiosity. She combines the visionary and the practical realities seamlessly. 😇 Erin Ashton: both incredibly smart and humble, Erin loves constant iteration and improvement – she encourages everyone to have an open mind around how we reimagine work. 🤠 Wade Kingsley: speaking from experience (Wade was my boss in a past life), I haven't met anyone like him who will boost your curiosity, courage and confidence in one conversation. Ste, Steph, Erin and Wade - thanks for getting involved!

We're starting

We 4x’d our team in less than 7 months (bootstrapped). Here’s how we make sure every hire is perfect for the job: 1. Only hiring when it really hurts. 2. Every person we’ve brought in was a Submagic user before they joined the team. 3. Has the same values as the rest of the team. By sticking to that process, everyone at Submagic: ✅ Shares our passion for content. ✅ Understands our users (because they were our users). ✅ Fits into the company culture. If you ask me, those things are worth more than anything listed on most people's CVs.

I spoke to Enreina Rizkiasri, a software engineer, about comparing yourself to other developers. At Givery, Inc. , she rekindled her passion for software development but she almost pursued a different career! "We should think more about being the best version of ourself." Whether you're an software engineer or a team leader, these insights could inspire fresh perspectives on building an engineering culture that developers love.

One of my biggest learnings in running a growing talent transformation business is that no matter how fab the relationships with your clients are (and our 4BOXer clients are a super loyal bunch), we can never rest on laurels and take anything for granted. For those who really know me - know I simply never sit still... and while '24 will be our biggest year yet, I've set myself a personal challenge to bring in 4 new 4BOXer clients into our world over the next 12 months to join our party. (We only want 4 new high quality clients btw...its a brand thing 😉). If you would like to be one of this "Fab 4" - and explore what we already do, with some of the UKs largest and most progressive organisations, or if you would simply like another perspective on your year ahead, let me know - and we can set up a virtual coffee. www.4box.co.uk
