You don't have a hiring problem. You have a network access problem. Hiring problem: the role is unclear, the comp is off, the process is broken. Network access problem: the right people exist, they're just not in your orbit yet. Those are completely different diagnoses with completely different solutions. Most companies treat the second one like the first. That's why the search takes four months. 🦋

Hot take: "culture fit" is just a fancy way of saying someone vouched for this person and we trust the source. Think about your best hires. Someone knew them. Someone made the call. Someone said "trust me on this one." Referrals don't just fill open roles. They set the tone for your entire team — because trust is contagious, and it starts at the source. 🦋

The referral bonus at most companies: → Takes 6 months to pay out → Has 14 conditions buried in the fine print → Only applies if the hire stays 90 days, is full-time, and was submitted through a portal nobody uses → Gets forgotten about entirely before it ever hits anyone's bank account And then leadership sits in a meeting wondering why nobody ever refers anyone. Fix the system. The people aren't the problem. 🦋

Candidates: "I don't want to bother anyone by asking for an intro." Meanwhile, that same candidate: → Applied cold to 47 jobs → Heard back from 3 → Got ghosted by 2 of them Bother the people. Send the message. Ask for the intro. The worst thing that happens is they say they don't know anyone. The best thing that happens is you skip the entire application process entirely. 🦋

Every great hire has an origin story. "My college roommate introduced us." "She was on my team at my last company." "A friend texted me out of nowhere and said I had to meet him." Almost none of them start with "I found them on Indeed." Almost none of them start with a cold application. The story always starts with a person who knew a person. 🦋

Job seekers: the job you actually want probably isn't posted anywhere. It's sitting in a founder's head as a vague "we really need to find someone for this." It's a conversation that hasn't happened yet. It's a role that will be written around the right person once they show up. Stop optimizing for the jobs that exist. Start getting into the rooms where the next ones are being invented. 🦋
