Insights on hiring, recruiting, and the future of talent acquisition.

Intelligence is getting cheap. The constraint is whether your people can direct it. Here is what that looks like for one product manager: a map of where she stands, a path built from her own work, an automation she builds on the tools she already has, and the hours that come back.
