Worth Search

Attending #NYTechWeek was a fantastic experience. Here are some of the highlights: Networking with Founders and Funders: Had a fantastic morning breakfast hosted by Republic where I got to connect with folks building incredible companies. There were some amazing founders in the room with huge missions and I'm excited to see them build. Eye-Opening Panel on Delegation: Went to a panel hosted by Double about why founders struggle to delegate (didn't think I needed this advice, but turns out I did). Hearing the panelists' experiences gave me great food for thought on how I'm spending my own time, what pieces of my daily work can be delegated, and how to improve some of our processes here at Worth Search. But honestly, the best part was the optimism buzzing around the NY Tech ecosystem. So many talented people with incredible ideas. It was awesome to get out of the office (aka my house) and meet some of these folks. Proud to be a small part of the NY Tech community for over a decade! What were some of your favorite moments from #NYTechWeek? Curious to hear more about people's experiences and also from anyone who hosted an event. Did you all find value in hosting?

As a hiring manager, one of my best hires ever had "Funemployed" listed on their resume, detailing the places they traveled during an intentional career break. Too often, we look down on resume gaps, viewing them as red flags. But what if we saw them as signs of self-awareness and work-life balance? The "funemployed" individual I hired came back refreshed, energized, and hungrier than ever. They had taken time to recharge, explore new horizons, and gain a fresh perspective – qualities that made them a valuable asset. Instead of liabilities, career breaks could indicate someone knows when to pause and how to return strong, avoiding burnout. We should give credit to those self-aware enough to take breaks. These individuals likely return with renewed purpose, a broader worldview, and deeper career appreciation. We're seeing a lot of candidates right now who were laid off taking extra time off before starting their job search. Being laid off is hard and stressful, and I commend these folks for taking the extra time to make sure they are fully committed and ready to join their next organization. So, don't immediately dismiss a resume gap. Consider the possibility the candidate used that time wisely to become a more well-rounded, effective professional. What are your thoughts on career breaks?

We recently had our Q1 Volunteer Week - a week in which every Worth Search employee commits a couple of hours to help out a local organization. This time is very fulfilling, we love coming back to work and sharing volunteering stories (and pictures)! Lindsey Markel shared a bit about her recent experience, “I volunteered with Heal the Bay for their Nothin' But Sand March 2024 Beach Cleanup at Toes Beach in Playa del Rey, CA. I filled up a 5 gallon bucket with various types of trash (microplastics, water bottle caps, cigarette butts, chip bags, straws, etc.) in less than 30 minutes which was pretty shocking. This is my local beach that I spend a ton of time at during the summer so it felt even more rewarding contributing to its clean up. This was my second time volunteering with Heal the Bay and certainly not the last!”

Get to know Christian Fabros, our VP of Recruitment! ◀ What did you do before joining Worth Search? Most recently I was the Head of Recruiting at Glossier, Inc. where I was responsible for all of their tech, business, and retail hiring. Before that, I worked with Nolan Greenberg at Compass where I led business recruiting for both our corporate and regional offices. ◀ What is your role at Worth Search?  VP of Recruiting, I focus on all G&A and Product roles. ◀ What keeps you at Worth Search? The ability to continue to still be hands-on with recruiting (something that often gets lost in senior internal roles), particularly because I get to work with companies of all shapes and sizes on a wide variety of roles. ◀ Nolan gives you the day off. How do you spend your day? You'll find me playing tennis and hanging with my dog (pictured below!) ◀ Dream remote work location? Sutton Place, NYC 😉

Meet our CEO, Nolan Greenberg! Find out his dream remote work spot, hint: there's pasta 🍝 ◀ What did you do before starting Worth Search? I worked at Compass for 5.5 years. I led Recruiting for 5 years and in my last 6 months there I worked on technology acqui-hires. ◀ What is your role at Worth Search?  Founder and CEO - I am focused on engineering and leadership recruiting and managing our amazing team and company! ◀ What keeps you at Worth Search? The team and the work, and, I think it would be kind of weird if I didn't work at the company I started :)?! In all seriousness, I love the team we have here. Everyone is motivated to do great work and help one another. While we're a remote team, I think each of us really cares about the success of our teammates. I also still love to recruit. I love speaking with our clients and candidates. One of my favorite parts of the job is helping our team close deals with candidates and clients! ◀ Nolan gives you the day off. How do you spend your day? Ooof, I wish I was better at giving myself days off. That is a work in progress. That said, when I get days off, I want to spend them with Lauren (wife), Jaxson (our 2.5yr old son), and Hugo (our dog, he's a vizsla). We often go to a beach near us that has a playground for Jax and Hugo can run free and play some fetch. Seeing them happy is the most important thing to me. ◀ What other career path would you have taken if you weren't in recruiting?  I think the easy/boring answer is a sales job. Recruiting is sales in many ways so that's not too different, but I do love the thrill of a sale or of closing a deal in recruiting. To go in a different direction, I have a hospitality degree and still love hotels and restaurants and learning what makes them tick. That is still an area I think about a lot. ◀ Dream remote work location? Various places in Italy!
