Stop Forcing Case Studies — Top Talent Won’t Stick Around. Here’s the nuance: ➡️ In a company-driven market, case studies are common (and candidates accept them). ➡️ In a candidate-driven market, they’re often a deal-breaker — especially for top execs already fielding offers. The smartest GTM leaders know when to skip the case study and rely on backchanneling + track record instead. In this podcast clip, we dig into how hiring executives balance rigor with respect for a candidate’s time. 🎧 Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/g7We-_i7

Let’s be honest: most great exec hires never hit the job boards.

The best hiring strategy isn’t posting — it’s networking intentionally long before you have an open role. In this clip, we unpack why “the devil you know” often becomes your best next hire. 🎧 Full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/dJANtTQV

If a new teammate goes quiet in their first two weeks, most leaders start to worry. ✅ Great onboarding = open communication ✅ “No bad questions” in the first month ✅ Proactive updates build trust faster than perfection In this clip, we talk about how early communication shapes long-term success — especially for remote and hybrid teams. 🎧 Full episode here: https://lnkd.in/ejgdGd72
