Recruiting

Finding, vetting and hiring people for a company. The pages filed here approach it as a tooling and services category, and as a lever for investors and operators.

• Tools. HR Tech Stack is the set of tools a people team runs on. Within it: Covey (candidate sourcing), LinkedIn Recruiter (LinkedIn’s paid candidate-search product), GoodTime (interview scheduling automation), Dover (recruiting automation focused on inbound candidate triage), and InfraSquad AI (Mihir Bedi; an AI-native hiring platform for the physical economy). Talent CRM describes tracking candidates the way a sales team tracks accounts, and Headcount Planning projects hiring pace and cost from past hires and open roles.
• Recruiting as a service. Talent as a Wedge: recruiting as the way into a round, where the service itself is the differentiation rather than a perk attached to the cheque.
• Social ask. Who Are the Best Early… (tweet) (Dec 2021): “who are the best early stage recruiters you know? working on an article.”
• Watchlist. ApplicantPro, a hiring-software company, is on the companies-to-watch list.
