Yes, doing the job right sometimes means pulling a couple extra hours. That isn't up for debate. Of course, this shouldn't be an everyday occurrence but great companies aren’t built by people watching the clock. They’re built by people who take responsibility when even things

People keep asking if our marketing images are exaggerated. They’re not. If anything, they’re toned down. Here are a few of the weirdest interviews the recruiter team here at RedBalloon has ever had to be a part of: 1. The candidate had his shirt unbuttoned to above the belly

"Everyone's hiring, nobody can find people" a huge part of this is no one knows how to find the *right* people. If someone's hiring, them to send a note to andrewc@redballoon.work or shoot me a dm. We're crushing this problem at @RedBalloonWork
I have been to 10+ factories across the USA in 45 days… here’s what I learned: - Everyone’s hiring, nobody can find people - Retirements are a tribal knowledge crisis - Language barriers in many factories - World-class robots… but use paper/whiteboards - Same ERPs everywhere,

One of the best hiring decisions you can make is to hire the person who wants more than just a typical 9-to-5. The person who knows that there are industries and markets yet to be discovered, and is hell-bent on finding them with you. Want to hit that “next level” you've

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in hiring is comparing candidates by salary alone. As if you’re picking office furniture. If you’re building something that actually matters, you can’t treat hiring like a bargain hunt. A lower price tag doesn’t always mean “good deal.”

A hiring secret no one wants to admit?? You’re already being evaluated before you ever open your mouth. Not unfairly. Not harshly. Just realistically. If someone claims they’re reliable, professional, and committed… but they present themselves like they’re allergic to

"The prosperity ladders have been pulled up. Our only choice is to burn it down." I asked @ACrapuchettes the founder of @RedBalloonWork what he had to say to young men who make this claim. He couldn't use the word he wanted to. 🧵

Let’s talk about the new LinkedIn trend: Suddenly people are renaming themselves things like “Jack ‘Growth Goblin’ Martinez, B2B Slayer" and then they wonder why they’re not getting calls back. I'm not trying to be stuffy here, but you have to realize so much of the hiring

Before “wellness stipends" and "emotional bandwidth sessions" we carved mountains. Literally. Mount Rushmore wasn’t the result of extra days off, or culture committees. It was the result of craftsmen who didn’t rely on pep talks to show up and do world-class work. Do you

One thing all great companies have in common? They hire people who know how to take risks. Employees who never raise concerns, never challenge assumptions, never surface friction are helping you stay blind at the end of the day. Do you want to build something ambitious? Then

If your presentation screams “bare minimum,” your words don’t matter. You can’t expect others to recognize value you clearly don’t take seriously yourself. Some people think effort is something you just talk about. But in the real world, effort is something you signal long

Ever heard the phrase “Never trust a skinny chef”? What you show has to match what you promise. If you tell someone “I’m serious about this job” but you look like you wandered in from a sleepover, they’re not buying it. Doesn’t have to be a suit and tie. But it does have to

Want to build a great business? STOP hiring people who nod along. Safe hires build safe companies. And safe companies don’t do anything great. Hire people who know when to say, “What if we went this way instead?” Those are people ready for pioneering. Those are the

No hybrid work policy. No team retreats. Just a man in a field with work that couldn’t wait. Some people don’t work for comfort. They work because it *must* be done. Because the job is bigger than them. Want a team that lasts? Hire people who answer the call, not the
