Hey everybody! This week on The Modern Recruiter, I had a fantastic chat with Steve Bartel , founder of Gem, about a topic close to my heart: recruiting strategies for early-stage startups. Steve and I go a long way: We both started companies in the Recruiting space around the same time, we both have a very strong Recruiting CRM (though we’re going after different audiences) and we both share the belief that recruiting should be closer to selling. What makes this episode special and so valuable is the preparation that went into it: literally years. We based our conversation on Steve's excellent guide, Startup Hiring 101 , that he personally crafted and refined over time, based on his own experiences as well as the hundreds of companies they worked with at Gem. This episode is a bit different from the usual: it's tailored more for startup founders. However, I believe there's also a lot in it for first recruiters at startups, recruiters broadly involved in the startup ecosystem, and agency recruiters working with early-stage companies. We discussed the unique challenges of building a founding team head-on. How do you balance speed, quality, and process when you're just starting out?
