Startup Resources

A candidate waited 1 month for CV feedback- only for them to be rejected for not having experience. Candidates appreciate prompt feedback so that they can decide whether to pursue the role or not. And if a candidate waits 1 month for feedback (or gets none at all), it speaks volumes about the company's: 1) Value in candidate and employee experience 2) Prioritising years of experience instead of the quality of their experience 3) Lack of an efficient hiring process. 4) company's culture If you're hiring right now, always aim to provide prompt feedback. It shows you're on top of hiring rather than falling behind the wagon. #hiring #feedback #candidateexperience

Equity isn't the no.1 thing candidates care about when joining a startup. Candidates care most about: - How interesting the project is - Their role as a founding member. - Opportunity to learn new e.g. coding languages .... and finally (down the line) the salary and % equity on offer. #candidates #founder #funding#hiring #investing #vc #venturecapital #startup

Today’s office- Starbucks in Jubilee Mall, Canary Wharf And I love it! Whilst I enjoy the flexibility from working from home, seeing the same four walls, day after day, does start to grind I’m not saying I hate working from home I just need to work in a different scene from time-to-time And if you happen to be in the Wharf, why not pop by to Starbucks and say hi 👋 #homeworking #remotework #workingfromhome #flexiblework

What long feedback wait times does to an employer's brand: ❌ Perception of unresponsive and disorganization ❌Negative word-of-mouth -especially when candidates share negative experiences on platforms like Glassdoor. ❌Losing top talent to competitors ❌Candidates losing trust in you as an employer ❌Shows that the company doesn't value the candidates and the skills they offer. Anything to add? #feedback #timetohire #evp #candidateexperience

What's your "why" for building your startup? Was it the opportunity to bring a great idea to life? Was it because you wanted more autonomy and flexibility? Mine was having the opportunity build on my experience as a recruiter, deliver to clients whilst being available as a Mum to a young family. I'd love to hear what your "why" was? #founderjourney #startuplife #seed #preseed

Virtual interview tip for hiring managers - face the camera. I once had a final interview for a Talent Acquisition Manager role and whilst I got the job, the hiring manager didn't make eye contact with me because their camera was positioned off to the side of the screen. Honestly, I've never felt so awkward during an interview If you're interviewing candidates online this week, please face the camera. It makes a huge difference! #virtualinterviews #hiringmanager #interviewtips #talentacquisition

"I loved what I did, and I was loyal and committed, but I wasn't coping, and I thought the best thing to do was to leave." Menopausal symptoms are debilitating and can last for years. The lack of support programmes at work means that many women feel uncomfortable sharing their struggles and have no alternative, but to quit. Lets break the taboo, promote openness about the Menopause in the workplace and give these exceptional, hard-working women support. #breakthetaboo #menopause
