Life lesson from my pops
When I was a kid and asked my dad for…well anything, his response was always the same: “That’s stuff. You don’t need more stuff.”
Instead he made me work at his pharmacy for minimum wage. The old “if you learn the value of money you can buy whatever you want.”
I’d argue the real lesson came from buying crap I didn’t need. Spend your hard earned cash on an awful video game (looking at you, Super Mario 2), that’s time wasted. TWICE.
Which brings me to the wild world of recruitment tech. (Or any vertical.)
Do we need another job board? Referral tool? Background check system? LinkedIn Recruiter clone? ATS?
That’s stuff. We don’t need more stuff.
At least not the same stuff that’s ever so slightly different than what we already have.
Because that’s time wasted, twice.
Innovation is hard. Shout out to anyone trying to do something actually new.
(Come to think of it, we probably do need a functioning ATS…)

Candidate Experience sucks right now. That’s it. That’s the show.
If you think back to 2021, when the job market was on fire, it was top of mind for everyone. Not just LinkedIn think pieces, but companies poured lots of time and effort into white-glove interview processes.
Now that the market cooled off, so did the effort. But there’s a disconnect: attracting talent isn’t any easier right now. In fact, it’s harder when you inadvertently cut corners.
Jeff Smith and James Hornick explain why ignoring candidate experience is costing companies big in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 111, “Candidate Experience Has Never Been Worse”
