What’s it like to be a recruiter in a thriving startup during a war? Merav Blum one of Fullpath 's incredible recruiters, shared her recent experiences within the Israeli recruitment sector. "Every time there’s an announcement of a fallen soldier or reservist, I find myself instinctively checking my LinkedIn connections. So many of our active miluimnikim are also family men and women, high-tech workers, talented developers—people I’ve likely reached out to, interviewed, or even worked alongside. It’s amazing how interconnected our professional and personal networks become in moments like these, and how deeply it affects us all. I’ve been in the field of Talent Acquisition for a few years now, and I love what I do—the mix of humanity and compassion vs impact and business needs, all while meeting KPIs and deadlines. But since the war began, the “human” aspect of my work has taken on a whole new meaning. As HR professionals, we are often the first face of the company a candidate encounters—their first glimpse of who we are, what we value, and how we treat people. This responsibility has never felt more significant than it does now. Over the past 450 days, I’ve lost count of how many candidates have told me they need to postpone an interview or delay completing a task because they were called up for reserve duty. They often sound nervous, apologetic, as if sharing this will somehow harm their chances. It won’t. I always give more time, more space. It’s my small way of contributing—keeping the day-to-day moving, continuing to work and supporting those who need it. Really seeing people, and helping them feel valued, even in the toughest of times. This is what I can do for my country, for my candidates, and for the people behind the résumés. And maybe that’s what we all need right now—a little more humanity, a little more understanding, and the strength to keep moving forward." #recruitment #israelstartup #reservists #startup #hiring

Many startup #founders encounter the tough challenge of finding key tech talent, which often leads them to try and handle recruitment on their own. With few resources and no dedicated recruitment team, they feel compelled to personally vet candidates, negotiate offers, and conduct interviews. However, this can lead to serious pitfalls. Founders may not have the right expertise to spot top technical talent and might prioritize cultural fit over essential skills, which can hinder their company's growth and reduce overall productivity. We truly understand these challenges. Our dedicated tech recruitment team has deep technical expertise and a strong presence in the tech communities of Latin America and Eastern Europe. (Honestly they are the best!) We invest in these regions to maintain a rich pipeline of skilled engineers who are ready to make an impact from day one. In a world where each hire can significantly impact a startup, it’s essential to recognize the value of a dedicated tech recruitment partner. So, should founders take on both entrepreneurial and recruitment roles? The real answer lies in knowing where to direct your efforts for the best results. Opinions are more than welcome. #tampa #VC #startups #entrepreneurship #YC #hiring #softwareengineer

Most startups get hiring wrong. Here’s the typical pattern: New job opens up. You post it on LinkedIn and a few job boards. Maybe you mention it to some folks in your network. Then you wait, hoping amazing talent will come knocking. 💡 The Problem: The best people aren’t scrolling job boards. And sifting through stacks of unqualified resumes? Exhausting. Then It Gets Worse: After that first post goes live, the recruiters swoop in. They flood you with “qualified talent” in the form of blind CVs. You’re stuck wading through endless resumes. Your time disappears, but the perfect candidate never materializes. What You Need Instead: A focused approach. 🎯 Go after passive candidates—the rockstars who aren’t actively looking, but are open to the right opportunity. 🛠 Treat recruiting like sales: identify the best, build relationships, and close the deal. 🔍 Target true talent—those who can actually move the needle for your startup. Why It Matters: When you shift from “post and pray” to a proactive strategy, you’re not just filling seats. You’re building a team that can lead your company into the future. Ask Yourself: Are you waiting for the perfect hire to find you, or are you actively finding them? 👇 Talk to our team about hiring RIGHT first time :) https://lnkd.in/ecg3VUAY #StartupHiring #PassiveTalent #RecruitmentStrategy #HiringTips

🚀 How do you know your new senior hire will still be with you in a year’s time? Short answer: You don’t. 🤷♂️ Sure, you might have access to those elusive, passive candidates that everyone talks about. And let’s be honest—if clients had access to my pool of talent, they wouldn’t need to pay me a fee, right? But here’s the thing: whether your candidate is a rare gem or one of hundreds applying to your job ad, if they don’t “fit” your company’s culture, does it really matter how you found them? The key is to nail behavioural screening and culture fit before you even meet them. 🎯 How do you do that? It’s simple: know exactly what you want from the role, then match that with candidates who not only meet your criteria but are genuinely motivated to be part of your journey. Think it’s easier said than done? It’s not. Our retention rates are over 96%. 💼💪 Want to learn how to achieve the same?

Finding the right talent in a competitive market isn’t about casting a wider net—it’s about casting a smarter one. Strong networks, industry events, and employee referrals will always be valuable, but real success comes from knowing where to look. Niche job boards and specialist communities often hold the talent that general platforms miss. And when you do find the right people, clear job descriptions and thorough assessments make all the difference in securing the best fit. The good news? You don’t have to navigate this alone. With the right recruitment partner, your talent pool is bigger than you think. Ready to find the talent you've been looking for?

Principal Tech Recruiter 🧑💻 🇸🇪 | Partnering with Swedish tech start-ups to recruit software engineers in less than 30 days. ⚡
I recently supported a start-up in Stockholm with a key tech hire. 💻 A Tech Lead, to be precise. They'd been struggling to find the right person through their job ads, advertised on LinkedIn for over 3 months. 🤯 Nearly 100 applicants, none of whom were the right fit. Not only was this costing the hiring team a huge amount of time, but it was costing them productivity by not having this person onboard. That can be seriously damaging for a start-up. They needed help.🆘 We made contact, and here's how it went down... 🔍Started by discussing the position and uncovering the problems they'd been having. 🔍Quickly diagnosed the problems and put forward the solutions we should implement. 🔍Gave them market insights into trends, salary data and candidate motivations. 🔍Delved into the business, their story and understood their USPs to what makes them a great employer. 🔍Agreed on a plan to move forward and identify the right candidates in our network. Here's what value we added:- ⭐ 3 Candidates presented. 📋 3 Candidates Interviewed. 🤝 1 Candidate offered the job and accepted. ⏱️ All in under 4 weeks. That's a 200+% increase in hiring productivity. Of course, there was a fee involved with this. We don't work for free, after all. But the amount of time, money and headaches saved by having this key person onboard is priceless. Not everyone thinks they need a recruiter to hire, often getting caught up in our fee's, but we're a lot more valuable than you might think. 💙 #Techrecruitment #Startups #Stockholm #Futurisrecruitment
