“Who you hire will make the single biggest difference to your business” – that’s how the first talk of this BoS Playlist opens. Making the wrong hire can set your business back significantly, while hiring a single great candidate can have a staggering impact. Make sure your hiring process ends with you employing the right candidate is so important.
This BoS Playlist is here to help. Bridget Harris (CEO/Founder, YouCanBook.Me) kicks off the playlist by laying out her approach to hiring at a bootstrapped, remote SaaS company. Next up, Alex Yang and Elpie Bannister from Simprints and Mikey Trafton (CTO, Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas) walk through the tactics of the hiring processes at their respective companies. Patrick McKenzie (better known as @patio11 on the internet) closes the playlist with some advice on hiring at scale from his time as a technology recruiter.
