Ashby

We loved co-hosting Growth by Design Talent first Portland event this week. Portland’s Talent, People, and RecOps leaders welcomed us with genuine warmth and reminded us why we do what we do. Sharing a table, swapping ideas, and hearing the stories behind the work is what makes this community so special. Thanks to everyone who braved the rain and made the night one to remember! 💜 Amanda Abramson, Amanda Gregg, Brenda Tern, Heather Doshay, Lauren Miller, Lance Lozano, Mark Rafferty, Molly Blank, Patrick Payne, Sean Sales, Tom Chapman, Zac Whitlow, Katie Campbell, Noah Holmes, Carrie Gerner, Stephanie Fish, Janet Frishberg, Kelsie Jordan, Allison Slater Rasch

🎙️ Last night, the #OfferAccepted podcast hit the road for the first time and Denver, you did not disappoint. Shannon Ogborn and Tommy Hansen got into how talent teams can plan for unplanned headcount, especially in turbulent times. The conversation only got richer when Laura Lockwood brought her RecOps expertise and POV to the audience Q+A. Next stop: Boston in September! Details coming soon, and we can’t wait to join more of our community in their cities.

Tropic just shared an update on the fastest growing vendors in their customer base. Exciting group of companies to be sitting alongside 🎉

Jim Miller isn’t just any VP of People & Talent. He’s a recruiter’s recruiter. From Boolean logic on day one at Aerotek to building Google’s ATS... and now helping shape Ashby into a fan-favorite platform? He lives for great hiring. And on The People People Group podcast Jim drops gold on: ☝️ Why volume vs. quality is a false dichotomy ✌️ The power of platform-based AI to actually free up recruiters to be human 🤟 The brutal truth behind quality-of-hire metrics (hint: referrals aren’t magic) 🔥 Why TA leaders need to isolate ROI—before adopting AI tools ⚙️ The real risk of not future-proofing your skills (and how to get ahead) Key Takeaways 🥡 -"Hiring frustratingly patiently" isn’t a delay—it's a strategy. -Most companies fail at innovation. Even the big flashy ones. -Assistive AI > Selective AI. One builds trust, the other invites lawsuits. -Feedback tokens for candidates? Absolute game-changer. -TA pros: Build your own future-state plan now. No one’s coming to save you. 📈 Ashby just raised a Series D. They haven’t even touched their Series C money and Jim’s at the center of it all. 🎧 Listen or watch if you’re serious about hearing about recruiting and the tools that are staying ahead of the curve. 📺 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gpq-qV5e  Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gcHpp--U 🟢 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gAhNTgbg Everywhere else: https://lnkd.in/gba8M7ZM
