This is no joke: high employee turnover is extremely detrimental to the IT ecosystem. Personally, I feel happy when my friends tell me they are switching jobs and are excited about the new opportunities ahead. I have met all of these amazing people at meetups and events where I have seen them consistently go above and beyond their job requirements. Unfortunately, it is common to lose hope and become fatigued when very little technical and community impact is achieved. And I feel very sad; I will miss them, and the startup and technical community will once again lose momentum and trust. It took me a decade to understand how to build extremely successful technical teams and retain talent. We, as IT professionals, have a constant desire to solve big, complex problems and be part of companies that empower us to achieve the impossible and recognize our efforts. Companies willing to understand these unique characteristics of technical people enjoy the success that only a passionate workforce can attain: trust, ownership and responsibility, collaboration, constant improvement, empathy, and finally, frugality, because passion is more powerful than money or size. Please, have a sincere and effective conversation with your team and ask them what makes them happy. We can't afford to lose more great minds. What do you notice about my office non-traditional configuration? (my answer on the first comment)

When Austin startups can't find people, Howdy can. 🔎 Here’s a brief case study featuring Workrise, a workforce management platform for skilled labor: Problem: Workrise needed to diversify its hiring pipeline and find different avenues for sourcing talent. Solution: Workrise partnered with Howdy because of our ultra-efficient hiring process and superior candidate quality. Result: Howdy has helped Workrise significantly expand its team for almost four years now. We've staffed 17 software engineers, one artificial intelligence and machine learning engineer, and one data analyst. "Howdy has the lowest churn rate for contract employees [I've ever seen]" - James Gorman, Senior Director of Data & Analytics, Workrise Follow the link below for a full case study with more details. #AustinTech #AustinStartups #AustinEntrepreneurs

During my first few years as a consultant I was sitting with a client and she got really frustrated with an employee because she expected her to think beyond her role. It wasn’t a outrageous request. But that has to be communicated properly and the tools necessary to help the employee have to be in place. Here’s the article I wrote about it “What is happening when employees slack off” - https://lnkd.in/eHFcAPs Employee turnover is expensive. Hiring rockstars helps but it doesn’t completely solve the problem. To help, I distilled the latest research into a simple framework called M.A.T.C.H. that I tech in my C-Suite Positioning System. It helps to attract the A-players you want and retain them with minimal effot and investment from you. If you want to learn more about it then let me know and I’ll send you the link.

🚀 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈: 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒕𝒐 𝑹𝒖𝒍𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝑨𝒍𝒍 🌐 Think about why we love using Amazon, Netflix, and Uber Eats: 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧: Everything set up to order anything with just two clicks. 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐱: Quickly find our next favorite series without endless searching. 𝐔𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐚𝐭𝐬:  No need to tell every restaurant where we live or how we like our food. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Candidates prepare their CVs over and over, fill out payroll onboarding repeatedly, and do background checks multiple times. Sounds terrible, right? 😫 🔍 𝐌𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: 🌟Streamlined Experience: Just like our favorite apps, recruiting should be seamless and user-friendly. Candidates shouldn’t have to repeat the same tasks for every application. 🌟Unified Platform: Imagine having all recruiting steps—CVs, onboarding, background checks—in one place. It saves time, reduces frustration, and improves the overall experience for everyone involved. It makes perfect sense to centralize these processes. That's why I believe the future of recruiting is a winner-takes-all market. One platform, one seamless experience, and countless benefits. That´s why we are building WorkGenius. Let’s push for innovation in recruiting, making it as effortless and efficient as the best tech platforms we use daily. The future of work deserves nothing less. #FutureOfRecruiting #Innovation #Efficiency #SeamlessExperience #RecruitingTech #CandidateExperience #OnePlatform #ChallengeTheNorm
