Making our tech ecosystem better everyday by doing recruiting the *right* way... Part 1:Spent my first 18 years in small town USA (Benton, Kentucky): Humbly and thankfully, spent mornings and nights on our family farm - *2,000 🐷 / 100 🐮 - learning the true definition of 'work'.Part 2:Fortunately, through playing college football, continued growing & learning @ Franklin and Marshall College; surrounded by thoughts & people to shape my philosophy mindset + allowed me to steal admirable attributes ... which I - hopefully - emulate everyday.Part 3:Since, I've been burrowing into New York City's Tech Ecosystem for the last 10 years. Having spent over half the time leading the in-house recruiting for Grand Central Tech, NYC's Flagship Incubator. Integrating my network & myself with the best preseed to Series A startups in that community (which grew from GCT's 1st class of 16 to over 100 when I left). With the the biggest lesson learned there was: great teams > great products - A company's success is predicated on the people who join (*why they join) & the leadership (*their decision making framework and moral compass). Building great teams and connecting better people aligned philosophically was my main goal Part 4:Taking all of this into my new life goal - Using Big Haystack Labs to help transform the recruiting landscape. Changing people's minds about tech recruiters one interaction at a time. Most see recruiting as sales ... as we see it as the furthest role on the spectrum.Always up to connect about anything - reach out! scott@bighlabs.com 🙃
