According to our latest market survey, the two teams predicted to undergo the most significant changes in the coming year — in regards to budget, headcount, or team structure — are Product/Technology and Go-To-Market/Sales. 

This reflects a broader market trend: Companies are looking to launch or innovate their product and service offerings to drive ongoing value, as well as redefine their GTM strategies to build upon and accelerate this value.

Founders: If either is the case for your organization, how are you rethinking your hiring strategy to ensure these teams are set up to drive the most growth?

Meet 📿Judd Borakove📿  and John J. Higginson, two industry leaders who’ve joined the Hunt Club ExpertAccess Program to help drive some of this strategic decision-making: 

➡️ Known as the “Ted Lasso of Business Growth,” 📿Judd Borakove📿  is a 6x C-Suite leader with 3 successful exits and an expert in GTM strategies, sales performance, and community building. When he’s not driving GTM success, Judd is also the co-host of GTM Unfiltered, an engaging business podcast bringing unfiltered conversations with business executives to the forefront.

➡️ Another 6x C-Suite leader, John J. Higginson is a deeply experienced product and technical leader with a strong background in driving innovation and building high-performance teams. He’s served as the CPTO of Groupon, CTO at Enova, CPTO at Florist Transworld Delivery, CTO at Applied Systems, and CTO at Chief. John is currently the CTO at Curriculum Associates.

Q: “How do I reach passive tech candidates and what are the top skill sets I should look for in an AI engineer candidate..?”

With firsthand experience and expert guidance you can’t get from ChatGPT, Jonathan Ozeran is joining our roster of Experts with a background in building visionary tech teams and setting a new standard for what’s possible in AI.

The recruiting industry is more complex than ever.

Unfortunately, many founders and hiring managers discover this truth the hard way, where they end up with the wrong leadership hire at a critical point in their growth trajectory, fracturing anything from the company vision to team morale in its wake.

Take it from Josh Fabian, Founder and CEO of the online eSports coaching platform, Metafy, which connects amateur video gamers with top players for 1-on-1 coaching. 

Like many high-growth organizations that suddenly find themselves flush with cash following a funding round, the Metafy team went from a small bunch, to what Fabian describes as “a ridiculous, are-you-kidding-me amount of people and headcount.” During this unprecedented growth phase, Metafy hired for a critical executive leadership role, working with a talent partner that wasn’t always aligned on exactly who and what the team needed to grow in a way that made sense for them.

Josh’s hard-hitting lessons from this experience?

- Searching for the right candidate working with a traditional recruitment firm can feel like a square peg, round hole endeavor.
- Hiring an executive leader role with a search firm must be an organic collaboration, not a rigid corporate contract.
- The actual “cost” of a wrong leadership hire isn’t in large upfront fees, but in the long-term ripple effects that affect the company’s culture and future growth.

Read more about his lessons working with the wrong talent partner, hiring the wrong executive leader, and how, despite these challenges, the Metafy team is still finding ways to win: https://lnkd.in/ggGHjtBr
