Quick announcement: Joel Lalgee and I are running a weekly LinkedIn Audio Chat series (aka, Clubhouse knock off.) This week we’ll be joined by our colleague (and VP of Marketing Recruiting at Hirewell), Richard Maltz.
Want to know what’s happening in marketing hiring? Richard can tell you. Reply here ahead of time if you have any questions we can answer. Or put your hand up and join the chat live.

Any now, my regularly scheduled nonsense:
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…)
