Kevin Marler ☁ reposted thisYour first hires set the tone. When a founder calls me about their first external hire, it’s never about the CV. It’s about the story we want to tell candidates, the patterns we’re setting for the team, and the signals we send about how this company operates. I recently worked with a startup making its first engineering hire. No JD existed. No interview process. They weren’t sure what “success” looked like in the role. We sat down and mapped it out together, not just the skills, but how the person would actually influence the company, what decisions they’d make, and how the team would interact. We built the process around that. The result? The candidate knew exactly what they were walking into, the team understood what “great” looked like, and the hire set a precedent for every future team member. Early-stage hiring isn’t about speed or volume. It’s about clarity, ownership, and creating a candidate experience that reflects who you are as a company. #canadiantech #startuphiring

Kevin Marler ☁ reposted thisHot take on hiring models 👇 More recruiters ≠ better recruiting. Throwing multiple recruiters at the same role often creates noise, not signal. When too many people are sourcing in parallel: 💭 You lose control of the narrative. Different recruiters pitch the role differently, emphasize different things, and sometimes oversell or misrepresent it. 💭 Credibility suffers. A recruiter who doesn’t truly understand the industry, function, or level can’t have a meaningful conversation with senior candidates. The candidate experience degrades. Nothing makes a company look more disorganized than a candidate being contacted three times about the same role by different people. Great hiring isn’t about volume. It’s about alignment. Hiring is not a race to flood inboxes. It’s a reputation-building, trust-building exercise that compounds over time. I always tell potential clients, if I'm not the best fit for you, I will help you find someone who will be. You'll be far more effective with recruitment when you build a relationship with a recruiter that knows your business, knows your team, and can drop in when needed. 🫶

It’s hard to put into words what this journey has meant. What I will miss most are the people. The collaboration, the energy, and the shared commitment to doing great work have made these years truly memorable. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked alongside such talented colleagues and leaders across regions, cultures, and teams — many of whom have become friends. There are far too many people to thank individually after such a long journey, but I’m especially grateful to Kevin Simzer for his partnership, leadership, and support over the years. I’ve learned a great deal from working together and truly valued the opportunity to contribute alongside him. Trend has been more than a role; it has been a community and an important part of my life for a long time. Together we’ve navigated growth, change, challenges, and successes, and I feel privileged to have been part of such a special organisation. To everyone I’ve had the privilege to work with along the way — thank you. I hope our paths cross again, and I look forward to staying in touch. As I make the move back to the UK, I’m carrying with me many great memories and friendships that I value enormously.

Kevin Marler ☁ liked thisKevin Marler ☁ liked thisToday we’re highlighting Mark Somers, Senior Engineer and Environmental Engineering & Compliance Manager, for the final day of our Engineering Month team spotlight series. As a respected leader, Mark brings extensive experience in engineering to the Environmental Engineering & Compliance (EE&C) group at BluMetric. He has decades of experience in engineering design related to water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management, environmental impact assessment, and industrial mining. His technical experience includes operating, managing, and designing water and wastewater treatment projects, groundwater, and surface water monitoring at various industrial (mining), municipal, provincial, and federal sites, and rehabilitating contaminated sites in remote locations, including in Arctic Canada. Mark has been a pillar at BluMetric for over 25 years and is highly respected by the team, partners, and clients alike. As the Service Line Manager for EE&C he manages a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, hydrogeologists, geologists, and scientists across a diverse range of technical businesses, ensuring customer delivery and project management, while supporting the growth and career development of his colleagues. He is a mentor and a leader. When not managing and delivering engineering excellence, you can find Mark on the ski slopes. Mark knew how to ski before he could walk. He was a competitive skier, coach, and is now a FIS race official in charge of international competitions. His passion for the sport, team-oriented approach to life, and discipline have served him well throughout his career. We’re proud to have Mark’s leadership and technical expertise as part of the BluMetric team. Have an upcoming project?

I’m so grateful for an incredible season with this team, none of it would have been possible without my teammates, coaches, and everyone who supported me along the way. The perfect way to close out the season! ⛷️💙

Kevin Marler ☁ liked thisKevin Marler ☁ liked this“Build something new” vs. “Build something better.” I was reminded of this last week at our partner Kombo Team's webinar: Three Bets Product and Engineering Leader in HR tech should make right now. Uber, Airbnb, and Slack built something new. Zoom, Linear, and Superhuman built something better. Category creation vs disruptors. I think a lot about whether HiringBranch is a better assessment or a new way of qualifying candidates. Here’s my case for why we err on the side of category creation. Traditional assessments measure proxies for communication ability, personality traits, situational judgment, and cognitive aptitude. HiringBranch actually has candidates demonstrate skills in realistic job simulations. This is meaningful because we didn’t just build a faster or better-looking assessment. HiringBranch replaces "what would you do in this situation?" with "show me.” Our sales prospects have to form a new mental model of what our product even does. These all tell me that we have built something new. I’m taking feedback. What do you think? It’s not clear cut case (contrary to what many of us founders would like to believe!).
