Krissy Manzano’s Post

1 year ago this week, I got laid off. I went to bed the night before absolutely certain I was getting laid off the next day, and told my husband. Sure enough, by 9AM I had "the meeting" on my calendar. My summer was spent applying, interviewing, and doing a lot of stress baking. But I also took the time to make sure I picked the right next step for me. One of the most important things for me was a company who had a target customer that I had emotional resonance with. I lucked out: I found a fantastic company with a great team. I'm not posting this as one of those self-promoting posts that are all too common on LinkedIn these days – I'm sharing because Collective is hiring for a lot of roles right now, with more to come. While we don't have a cute "ian" name for our team, we do have: - A remote-friendly workforce (even roles that are location-specific don't require daily office trips, unless you want that.) - Genuinely nice people to work with - A culture that values transparency, willing to try new things, and progress over perfection. Sound like a fit? Take a look at our open roles: https://lnkd.in/gnAYnBR4

Hiring newbies with a positive attitude is better than hiring negative people with experience.

WHO THE FRIGGIN’ FRIG IS HIRING RN!? We love that title from Ross Pomerantz (aka Corporate Bro) and Adam Schoenfeld (Founder at Keyplay). They put together this great resource of companies in tech that are hiring along with key details about their growth, funding, and other signals. Many of these companies offer remote work, but some will be hybrid too. But if you are on the job hunt currently, we think this is just another interesting (and free!) resource to monitor and search the companies for opportunities.

When you have work that doesn’t need a full time employee When there’s a task that only requires a few hours of work per day or week. Hiring someone full-time for it is impractical. For example, recruiting an employee solely to schedule appointments isn’t a smart idea. 💡 In such cases, when there are small tasks or one-off projects, it’s better to use a virtual assistant. 📧 Here are some industries below that hire VA's. ☎

🏆 I'm very happy that Plative has been recognized as a "Great Place to Work" for the 5th consecutive year! 🎉 What's the secret behind this recognition? Here's my take: Support the team: We jump in and roll up our sleeves to support each other. Promote growth: We're passionate about helping our team members grow, take on new challenges, and build their brand. Client-centric approach: Our commitment to delivering the best outcomes for our clients is unwavering. Culture of collaboration: We prioritize collaboration among our team, clients, and partners. Honesty above all: Transparency and honesty are two of my, and Platives core values Empathetic coaching: Coach with empathy, understanding that each individual's journey is unique. Creating a great workplace isn't only about perks and benefits—it's about fostering a culture where everyone thrives.

The best agency founders I’ve worked with always had this 1 thing in common: It was always a give-and-take relationship. I’d always learn a lot from their work to help me with my current & future clients. They’d get hours of admin saved by hiring me (humble brag 💅🏼) It’s always been more difficult when the founder is less available and I have to do everything through another person, i.e. Head of Operations. That’s why, if you plan to hire a VA, but not work with them directly, hire an exceptional HoP first.
