On Record | Episode 2: Why Hiring Breaks After the First Interview
On Record | Episode 1: Beyond the Job Board
In this episode of On Record, we explore why a promising candidate can make it through the first interview — and still end up stuck in a hiring process for months. What changes when too many people are involved, nobody agrees on what good looks like, and every interview raises more questions instead of answering them?
In this episode of On Record, we discuss one of the biggest hiring myths: that great candidates simply appear when you post a job online. Drawing on our experience at HubSpot, Facebook, and Zoom, we explore how high-growth companies actually attract and hire top talent.
