Tragic

[eternal jewel]

myth i think

according to recruiter at least

[minor anvil]

those seems pretty unrelated tho.

imho, even tho not sexy, data labeling is a very solid biz model while ai recruiting is a bit hand wavey.

[strange holly]

yea they don't have formal recruiters so they just use external agencies to plug ppl into their process

[ancient solar]

nah i think they do have recruiters

[strange holly]

overheard a convo during my on-site of someone explaining their entire recruitment process who confirmed it

and they have “exec assistants” internally to manage the recruitment process when the candidate is in the cycle

[teal cairn]
