We’ll explore what it really takes to hire the best in tech—through the eyes of a VP of Talent, a Founder, a CTO, and a few rising stars from the startup hiring world.
Because when it comes to hiring the best, everyone’s role matters. The bar for hiring should be high—and consistent—from the first outreach to the final offer. We'll break down what "great" looks like for each role in the hiring equation, and end with a lively panel on what it takes to land top-tier startup talent in 2025.

About the Talent ~ People Community
We're a curated community for in-house Talent and People leaders from start-ups to Series C scale-ups — built to tackle the chaos, ambiguity, and constant context-switching of hiring in early-stage tech.
There are a few good communities out there, but not many that speak directly to the realities of start-up talent teams. That’s why we created this one.
A tighter, more focused group of leaders who get it — and who can help each other solve the kinds of problems that pop up every single day in our world.
