About this listen
From the founder and CEO of one of Silicon Valley’s hottest start-ups comes a behind-the-scenes guide to recruiting and closing the best talent in the world.
Your company’s future rests on the people who make it up - but how does a small, early stage company lure industry veterans away from comfortable jobs? Conversely, if your company is inundated with applicants, how do you separate the good from the truly great? And once you’ve found your dream candidate, how do you make sure they say yes to you every time?
In this essential primer, Bolt founder and CEO Ryan Breslow offers insights drawn from his experience growing Bolt from an idea to a multibillion-dollar company. Along the way, he interviewed thousands of possible candidates and developed a rigorous process for finding, screening, and closing the very best.
This book includes email templates, interview questions, and even how to run a thorough reference check. Breslow coaches leaders on everything from attracting talent to communicating a company's vision to drafting emails that will help you close the deal. This is a step-by-step breakdown of how to bring the best talent in the world to work for you, and it’s an indispensable guide for anyone who wants to take their team and company to the next level.

Mastering the art of fundraising is key to every new company’s success. But the process itself is too often shrouded in mystery. From networking and building supportive relationships to crafting the perfect pitch and knowing when to finalize a deal - it can be a confusing and complex web. Opening a fundraising round is one of the most daunting moments in the lifecycle of a young startup. But even as tech insiders trade tips, too many first-time founders are left in the dark or sorting through conflicting advice.

No matter how motivated and energetic you are - even if you're the greatest salesperson on the planet! - as a network marketer with limited time, there's only so much money you can make without great people to help you sell your products. Recruiting is the life force of any network marketing, multilevel marketing, or party plan business; it lifts the ceiling off your income, the key that will allow you to keep checks rolling in above and beyond what you can do yourself.

When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

Although software has become easier to build, launching and scaling new products and services remains difficult. Start-ups face daunting challenges entering the technology ecosystem, including stiff competition, copycats, and ineffective marketing channels. Teams launching new products must consider the advantages of “the network effect”, where a product or service’s value increases as more users engage with it. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants utilize network effects, and most tech products incorporate them.

When recruiting is focused only on company value propositions and promises of being just a bit better, they fail to inspire. Why? People are attracted to people--not companies. At 4C Recruiting, we have coached and consulted some of the biggest companies to help their recruiting leaders (anyone who not only leads a team but recruits to it) become more effective at building their personal leadership brand and recruiting top talent. We are experts in the digital world, and know the power that it has to connect people and humanize leaders.

And what he found looked far different than expected.

Innovations rarely come from “experts.” Elon Musk was not an “electric car person” before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world.

But with that change comes unprecedented access to information in a few quick keystrokes. Enter the age of the empowered buyer, one who no longer has to rely on a sales rep to research their challenges or learn more about how a company’s offering might fit their needs. Now, with more than 60 percent of purchasing decisions made in the absence of a sales rep, the role of the rep itself has been called into question.

But with that change comes unprecedented access to information in a few quick keystrokes. Enter the age of the empowered buyer, one who no longer has to rely on a sales rep to research their challenges or learn more about how a company’s offering might fit their needs. Now, with more than 60 percent of purchasing decisions made in the absence of a sales rep, the role of the rep itself has been called into question.

As Guy Kawasaki puts it, "If the two most popular words in your company are partner and strategic, and partner has become a verb, and strategic is used to describe decisions and activities that don't make sense"...then it's time for a reality check.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur, or a not-for-profit leader, there's no shortage of advice on such topics as writing a business plan, recruiting, raising capital, and branding. In fact there are so many books, articles, and websites that many startups get bogged down to the point of paralysis, or they focus on the wrong priorities and go broke before they discover their mistakes.

Thoughts from a Meta/Google Recruiter
I'm one of the Metaverse Research Recruiters at Meta and I was the Leadership Recruiter for the Google Search Algorithm before this role. We have a lot of great interview training both at Meta and Google - but I've frequently been asked for books that distill that knowledge. Up to now, I've only been able to recommend Laszlo Bock's 'Work Rules' which published his work on hiring science at Google. It's an amazing book but tends to be too technical and long for most hiring managers.
I'm going to start recommending this book for a quicker read. Ryan did a great job summarizing the work we did at Meta and Google Recruiting. He talks about strategy but also goes into detail about novel tactics a manager can try. It's an easy-to-understand guide for good recruiting practices.
