#NewCOO | 3 months – that’s the time it took to find the perfect candidate for the new COO role at Candy POP, and now Povilas Ziukas is at the control console of our operations.  🚀 Povilas, who was on a career break, living a peaceful family life, wasn't actively seeking a new role, but as they say, some things are just meant to be. 🍭 “I wasn't looking for a job, but a friend showed me the job listing, and it was the first time in nearly 2 years that I clicked APPLY,” says Povilas. What sealed the deal for Povilas? 👇\ ✅ Gut Feeling: The more I learned about Candy POP, the more I knew this was the right place for me. ✅ 3 interviews: If you can't get a sense of fit after three interviews, more won't help. ✅ In-person meetings with leadership: Nothing beats face-to-face when showcasing your best qualities.  ✅ Start-up culture: A balance of motivating responsibility and freedom, paired with a supportive and youthful team, created a great vibe. 🌟 Stay tuned, as Candy POP continues to grow, and who knows, you might be the next to join our growing team. ___ #CandyPOP #LeadershipTeam #COO #Operations

I hired someone with ZERO Amazon experience. I wasn’t even sure what position I would put her in. Why did I hire her? Because she showed up. Everywhere. Every conference.  Every webinar.  Every post. Passion trumped experience. She wanted to learn and was willing to put in the work to do so. We created a role.  She excelled.  Transformed our processes.  Boosted client satisfaction. When you spot raw talent and drive: Hire first. Figure out the details later. Great team members are rare. Don't let them slip away. Hire for potential, not just experience. Because sometimes, the perfect candidate doesn't fit the perfect job description. They create it. PS. I’m hiring.  - Senior PPC Strategist / Senior Amazon PPC Manager - Social Media and Marketing Specialist - Amazon Account Manager / Brand Manager - JR.

A few years ago, I embarked on a journey of self-exploration while working for an employer I truly enjoyed. I felt the need to expand my knowledge and challenge myself continuously. Motivational speakers often say, “you have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable,” and I embraced this mindset for personal and professional growth. Joining Babynov USA brought the typical “startup” challenges, which I welcomed with enthusiasm. My time there was filled with invaluable lessons: what to do, how to do it, and just as crucially, what not to do and how not to be. Life has a way of throwing curveballs. Recently, my son was diagnosed with a dual disorder, which requires my full attention. This unexpected turn led to the difficult decision to end my tenure at Babynov. While it’s bittersweet, it’s also an opportunity for a new beginning. Now, I'm excited to pivot and explore new opportunities in Sales, Business Development, Procurement, and Purchasing. I'm open to both local and remote roles. If you know of any opportunities or can connect me with someone in these fields, I’d love to hear from you! Let's network and support each other during these times of change. #SelfGrowth #CareerJourney #WorkLifeBalance #Flexibility #Negotiation #SelfAdvocacy #BeAGoodHuman #CACitrus #Sales #Procurement #BusinessDevelopment #GrowerRelations #OpenForWork

We don't have middle mangers at The Lab | Road Trip, and our C-Level is just two people. Our sales team is three. Our admin team is one. Our HR team is one. Everyone else is trying to set production records, all day, everyday. 47 people making prerolls. 3 people making sales. 4 people doing the rest. We don't have a marketing department. We don't have facility, shift, or general managers. We have strong SOPS. We have fair compensation. We have a team of hustlers. We have centralized our goals and decentralized decision making. We have a culture of pride and individual ownership. Yes, this is an experiment. No, I'm not 100% sure where it will go. Nevertheless, I am convinced that the right people, compensated fairly, can and will achieve goals and set records again and again if: A) company goals are public and their progress is tracked publicly, and B) determining the manner in which the goals are achieved is a shared endeavor amongst all staff.

Quick note from one of our clients. Great job to our team, Tyler Pixley, Matthew Ridley, Aly Kosteva, Haley Mayer, Shelby Wells! We have been working hard to improve a lot of things over the years and it is showing! #hiring #professionaldevelopment #growth #employeegrowth #employeedevelopment #recruiting #job #jobs #development #careerdevelopment #career #careers #hardwork #improvement #nowhiring

For our hiring tip today, let’s talk about friends as employees. While hiring your friends might be tempting, prioritizing qualifications and fit for the role is essential. Before diving into hiring, ask yourself: What does my company need? What are the essential skills and qualities for this position? Then, evaluate your friends based on their credentials and behavioral tendencies. Remember, a good employee isn't necessarily a good friend, and vice versa. #HiringTip #Employees #Skylar

About hiring We recently filled another vacancy, which I already wrote about. Walking this path made me think about team chemistry, compatibility, and effectiveness for the first time. The fact is that I really love basketball and watch the NBA regularly. Very often the topic of a manager’s work and building an effective team is touched upon. In short, having Stars does not guarantee victory in the championship. Often, on the contrary, the Stars cannot get along together and the results are lame. It is important to build a working system, set up chemistry and culture. Make sure that the new player organically complements the existing squad. It’s still difficult for me to break this down into specific variables, but what can be said for sure is the importance of the balance of psychotypes in the team-manager-customer triangle and the balance of hard skills. In acquisitions, for example, UAM from Fintech, real estate or Edtech are very different schools. And mixing them is useful! What do you think?

Doesn’t everyone open a bottle of Dom when they start at Deel? 🍾🥂 3yrs ago today I started one of the most rewarding journeys of my career! - Alex Bouaziz said in my interview “I already have sales and CS I don’t like the idea of another sales team” … me - “well you can keep debating it or give me a chance! No mistake that cannot be fixed. So if it doesn’t work put me somewhere else or fire me. But I do NOT fail” - So, I became the founding member of Sales Expansion (now known as Global Workforce Consultants) - The team is now global with 200ppl+ - My team has never missed quota (despite ever growing goals from my partner in RevOps Austin Cook Kiessig 😉) - We now sell 10+ products - Amount I have learned cannot be measured - My leadership pushes me and empowers me regularly Chris Lee Shuo Wang - Ever grateful for my friend and mentor Greg Lazarus for helping me get here! Best yet… I’m still hiring for both a manager and individual reps! Deel is a generational company with far more to accomplish! So, my journey has only just begun! Who wants to start a life changing adventure with me? #DeelSpeed #hiring #WomanInSales #RemoteWork

🚨 PROMOTION ALERT 🚨 Let me tell you about this ambitious young man, Jeison Hernandez. Back in December, Jeison walks into one of my stores with a résumé in hand, and says he’s looking for work. I interviewed him, and immediately noticed his potential. Jeison joined my team as an entry level sales associate a few days after Christmas, 2023. Since then, not only has he upheld the company and district values consistently, but he took on additional responsibility just to prove himself. He wanted to show me that he can do the job even without a title! Any time I needed someone to help with emergency coverage, he was the first one to step to the plate. Anytime I was unavailable to support another employee, he took the initiative to help out. When his shift ended for the day, and the business was still busy, he stayed off the clock to support his peers. Granted, I still made sure to compensate him for his time! Whenever he was presented with an obstacle, the first thing Jeison thinks about is what he CAN do to fix it, not about what he CAN’T do. All of this, without ask! As a result of his unconditional efforts, he was promoted to a Team Leader (Assistant Manager) in March, 2024. Following a successful February in his store, Jeison ended the first quarter of the year with 106% to his monthly Gross Profit target! Today, he was promoted to Store Manager for his Jackson Heights, Queens store. I love sharing internal growth stories such as this one, because tenure doesn’t necessarily dictate if someone should move up the ladder of hierarchy. But rather their merit, how they uphold the values of the community, extreme ownership, integrity, unconditional efforts and being able to keep their head high when during the HIGHS & the LOWS! I am hopeful that I will be able to share more stories like this in 2024 ⚡️ #PromotionStory #CP4L #CricketWireless #InternalGrowth #InvestInTheFrontline
