@liangsays @MTSlive @ChrisJBakke @netcapgirl @theojaffee @schisofrenia @gbrl_dick congrats brent!
Why Talent Engineering? AI has made every part of the recruiting stack noisier at exactly the moment companies need sharper signal. Resumes are easier to polish, outbound is easier to spam, Inbound is harder to parse. And the best candidates are more in demand than ever, so mostly stopped looking. The old recruiting stack still matters: sourcing, process, relationships, closing. But it no longer differentiates, because everyone now has the same tools. The advantage is shifting to teams that build their own. A talent engineer is someone (often coming from a SWE background) who looks at team-building as an engineering problem to be solved... building systems to from the ground-up to identify + engage + close top talent. And that's who we want to find and bring together. We're going to cap the first cohort at 40-50 to keep it focused & intimate. Learn more & apply below 👇👇
Today we're thrilled to announce the @a16z Talent Engineer Fellowship — an 8-week cohort for the people building the next operating system for recruiting. We have a killer group of humans already joining- folks at the frontier of this space, including: - Danielle Poreh - Clay
