Ever wonder why your job search—or search for talent—feels so noisy? Even with criteria like this: 👇 Job Titles: Director of Product Management Head of Product Senior Manager, Product Management VP, Product Management Experience: 5-12+ years You’d expect to find candidates with strong product leadership experience. But instead, the results can be wildly off—profiles from salespeople, students, consultants, even entry-level positions. How does that happen? Platforms like LinkedIn cast wide nets, prioritizing reach over relevance. This inherently leads to mismatches, making it difficult to surface the right talent or job opportunities. It’s not just frustrating—it’s a flaw in the system. The challenge isn’t in finding more profiles, but in finding the right ones. The tools we use today just aren’t precise enough, and that’s why job searches feel so noisy. The better we get at matching the right profiles, the less noise we have to cut through. What’s your take on this?

Is your hiring process slowing you down? Traditional methods are likely holding you back—here’s how to flip the script and hire smarter. ♻️ 1) Outcomes First, Not Qualifications Build your MVP (Minimum Viable Profile) around the key outcomes that matter most. Align your hiring team on what success looks like from the start, so you can focus on what really drives results—not just a list of qualifications. 2) Calibrate Early for a Better Fit Your candidate search should be a living, breathing process. Real-time calibration—testing and adjusting profiles as you go—can eliminate guesswork and lead to a more precise match. 3) Quality over Quantity Flooding inboxes won’t land the best talent. Targeted, thoughtful outreach to candidates who align with your MVP saves time and increases engagement. Precision over volume always wins getting the best people in process. ---- #hiring #recruiting #techcareers

Not all bias is bad in hiring. The key is knowing which biases drive better decisions and which ones hold you back. Here are the most common traps we see teams fall into. Bad Bias - These biases often cause teams to overlook the candidate's real ability to deliver results. ❌ Logos Over Outcomes: Don’t get swayed by big-name companies. Focus on the candidate’s actual achievements, not where they worked. ❌ Educational Prestige: A fancy school doesn’t always mean better skills. Focus on their work, not just where they studied. ❌ Years of Experience: Don’t let arbitrary years of experience override actual quality. Relevant experience beats tenure every time. Good Bias - we're looking for reliable indicators of future performance. ✅ Proven Outcomes: Focus on candidates who have delivered measurable results in similar roles. ✅ Adaptability and Learning Agility: Find people who can learn quickly and adapt to new challenges and changes. ✅ Relevant Experience: Prioritize candidates with hands-on experience that aligns with the specific challenges of the role. 💡Hiring Tip: Hone in on the right biases that predict success and eliminate the ones that are holding you back and unnecessarily restricting your talent pool.

Me: when the hiring manager turns down the ideal candidate for the job

We beat the AZ heat 🥵 Last week's OutScout offsite was a success! We believe that combining async work with quarterly (or more frequent) in-person meetups creates the perfect work balance. Just a few of the highlights: ✅ 2025 strategy and alignment ✅ Countless impromptu ideas to improve talent ops, customer onboarding, and workflows ✅ Zoom meets and standing desks -> poolside meets and scenic hikes Coming back with a big to-do list and optimistic and energized for what's ahead 🤘
