I engineered a technique helping startups fill technical roles quickly. I call it “Search Sprint”. It’s built to peak hiring accuracy and speed. The former derives from breaking down a tricky role into a univocal equation of variables (e.g. product fit, eng background, geography, etc.), deducing variable-based search schemes, a/b testing pipeline cohorts to max out scout efficiency, and more. Speed peaks from: compressing search-to-reach steps into 3-4 sequential days, and various unusual practices (e.g. ultra-speed BPM playlists to shrink search time, custom sprint diets to boost alertness, and more).
I anatomized my formula in this video.
When I’m not sprinting, I focus on:
-
Scouting startups with a compact, autonomous, high-performing, audacious prod-eng org; nonfictional PMF signs; healthy runway; against overstaffing, vanity growth metrics and bureaucratic crap; typically in the early-growth stage and pre-series B. Few of my fellows are raycast.com(YCw20), causal.com, wasmer.io(YCw19), recall.ai(YCw20), attio.com, june.so(YCw21).
-
Meeting talents in person. I’m eager to listen to the personal story and help explore roles, products to build, and startups to join/found. This helps me find custom-fitted opportunities for each talent.
