‘Give Away Your Legos’ and Other Commandments for Scaling Startups
‘Give Away Your Legos’ and Other Commandments for Scaling Startups
I’ve been tweeting about this post earlier in the week because it is one of the few on the topic of scaling which is brave enough to delineate the stages of hyper scale and actually a put headcount number on each one. File under ‘great, even if you disagree’

How To Write Good Job Descriptions
How To Write Good Job Descriptions
It’s actually a ‘recruitment advert’, but leaving aside this faux pas, the advice on this post poses an interesting question - do we write ads in order to maximise applications (yup) and….is that a good thing? (nope). But we still want to see the volume, don’t we?

The Great Executive-Employee Disconnect
The Great Executive-Employee Disconnect
Another outstanding report, this time from Slack, which surveyed execs and employees to assess their relative sentiment on workplace flexibility. No surprises in the results, so this document might prove a useful artefact to circulate internally or to invoke in conservations you may need to have. Download the pdf here

What Makes A 'Transactional' Recruiter?
What Makes A 'Transactional' Recruiter?
Great to to see brainfooder Glen Cathey getting back into this writing - we have missed this voice. Here he is with a thought provoking post on why it is mindset not metrics which determine whether a recruiter is ‘transactional’. It’s really a defence on activity focused work. Most top billers, I think, would agree. Have a read

Team Work
The author just calls this ‘notes on working in a team’ but a normal person would just have a few bullet points on a notion page somewhere, not hand code a beautifully rendered interactive website. Some wise words too on how to be a better team mate. Enjoy

A Labor Movement for the Platform Economy
A Labor Movement for the Platform Economy
You can’t really study the ‘future of work’ without the lenses of sociology and politics; the rise of the platform or gig economy has created new relations between worker and platform, and the workers, are organising for ‘decentralised collective action’. Li Jin one of the most effective coiners and chroniclers of this new era. Have a read here

Best & Worst Recruiter Commission Schemes
Best & Worst Recruiter Commission Schemes
Brainfooder Greg Savage with a lesson on how to do teaser content for paywalled material; there’s enough value in this nugget to make you want more. 11 things to think about when you’re setting up a recruiter commission scheme. Must read for any agency owner, or indeed, anybody setting incentives for any type of recruiter.

"The Ultimate Guide on How to Get a Job in Crypto"
Blockchain is more than Bitcoin; it’s the technological underpinning for decentralising systems of distribution. And it’s attracting a lot of smart folks who are keen to help build it. Cool thread by our buddies Talent Protocol (more on them soon), how you too can join the movement.

Hiring People Over The Age of 50
Hiring People Over The Age of 50
If you’re over 50, you’re half as likely as other age groups to find work. Think about that. In this candidate short market. It’s the DEI issue which is universally prevalent, yet perhaps least well supported. Excellent post by brainfood Joseph Slavin on what we can do about it.

Regular LinkedIn Polls vs 'Reaction' LinkedIn Polls
Regular LinkedIn Polls vs 'Reaction' LinkedIn Polls
It upset me that Brainfooder Andy Foote did not have early access to LinkedIn newsletter (how does LinkedIn decide this??) so when he did finally get permission, I immediately signed up, which I don’t regret for a minute because you get amazing content like this experiment on LinkedIn polls. You got to read it - and subscribe to Andy’s newsletter.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of crypto unicorn Coinbase, took a massive amount of heat last year when he declared his company to be ‘mission focused’ (a.k.a politics free zone) offering pay outs to any of this employees who did not sign up for it. He gives an update, one year after the deed. Have a read

A New Level of Hell Has Been Reached
A New Level of Hell Has Been Reached
/recruitinghell is a subreddit dedicated to the terrible things candidates experience in recruitment. Last week, a new level was reached with Y combinator startup ‘Skip the interview’. The thread is a savage beat down on the idea of rewarding referees with a cash reward…..
H/T brainfooders Mark Uz and Rob McCargow for the share.

The Gender Promotion Gap
Why are fewer women promoted to senior positions than men? It’s all about our preconceptions of ‘leadership’ using default male character traits. 5 minutes, fascinating conjecture.

End notes
I’m in London but my eyes have been in space this past week because we’ve seen some remarkable achievements lately; Blue Origin casually sending up James T Kirk into space, Shenzhou-13 mission successfully docking with Tiangong Space Station and the NASA Lucy mission blasting off yesterday to explore the Trojan asteroids.
We have a lot to sort out on planet earth but we don’t have to zoom out too far to understand that the resiliency of our species is going to depend on us getting better at getting off planet earth. Some great signs that we can and will do it.
DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok if you got any cool news from outer space.
Have a great week everybody.
