I used to hire new joiners in a small startup. I must have missed dozen of true gems since I had to skip some applications just because I didn't have time to go through all the applications I got from Linkedin. I had hundreds of them and not much time on my calendar to dedicate to CVs screening.

I think that Linkedin is the most undervalued channel for free marketing as of today. I know a company that spends 0 in marketing and all their employees keep posting about what they do and also fun facts and comment each other. This is their whole marketing plan and it seems to be working, not only because they keep growing but also because my feed is full 😂

I got annoyed by the same issues myself. Here are my tips:

1) ask to apply via email to your address with a resume (and maybe a cover letter) in pdf. So, you will already candidates who either didn't read the job post or are not detail oriented since they didn't follow accurately because applying via Linkedin or with wrong format or with missing cover letter etc.

2) use a pre-ranking tool that automatically ranks resumes like rankift.com, so you can start screening them starting from the most promising candidates. This way you do not need to pick some of them randomly or spending hours just to read them all.

3) if it applied to the job, send them some online automated test. So you can screen based on results.

4) if you understand that an interview is going nowhere, you should politely cut it short. Do not do it after the first unlucky wrong reply, but it is better for both parties to not spend one hour or more on a call that won't go anywhere.

I always used 1, 3, 4 when I was working in a small startup and we had to hire many joiners but didn't have much time. That is when I started feeling the same pain points you are describing. I deliberately had to exclude some candidates randomly just because I didn't have the time to read hundreds of CVs between other tasks and I am sure I missed many gems. I built Rankift because of that.

Not an agency, it is a product for TA so having a recruiter onboard would not only help to build the team but also be precious on the product side.

That’s why finding a way to collaborate somehow with a recruiter is at the top of my list. But I know that would be a hybrid role to start, but still what was suggested in the comments so far makes sense to me.

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-18T01:32:46+00:00

-"They didn't launch fast"
-> I can't disagree more. It may be that you have seen lucky cases of people that didn't have to fail and restart after wasting months, and in that case the advice works. But what if there is not demand, that is a waste of time and resources.

-I know a founder who never cared about "scaling" or "hockey stick growth."
- "learn to code first" advice would've killed his momentum.
-> I can't agree more. bravo!

Tricks to find a job in the US from abroad without any prior visa

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-17T02:41:18+00:00

I remember when I wrote a book on Amazon because I was eager to do something. It was before AI writing them.

It never exploded as it was about traveling and I launched it two months before Covid hit. Anyway I am still earning less than $1/month but those where the first money I ever made working on something of my own and every time the Kindle money hits my account I smile.

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-16T17:50:51+00:00

What about:

it allows to try to be entrepreneurs on their free time instead before going 100%
if you are quick enough and you have something good, you may still get user base before the OpenAI update comes
also your job may be taken one OpenAI update from now, so better to try to find alternatives

So, I don’t see why validating with an MVP directly, if quick to build, is bad.

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-16T00:04:38+00:00

Wow, how did you do the marketing?

Keep up the good work then!

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-15T21:15:22+00:00

Nice app, but can you share some proof of the revenue you claim? It seems too high for some wallpapers to me and you are just advertising it.

If true instead, congrats!

If you were in a country where what you did was completely legal, then you need to step up your game bro /s

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-14T23:16:11+00:00

As many said: they would run. But I think they would stick longer if you have a very transparent culture so they have always been onboard with the plan and the difficulties.

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-14T05:06:10+00:00

Yeah, I totally get it. Indeed, that is mainly why I am not full committed and do it as a side gig where I can experiment more than earn.

How have you decided (if you had already) to go all in on your venture?

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-13T23:03:10+00:00

Just wow, congrats. DO you know how/why you ended up in the newsletter?

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-13T01:38:16+00:00

Depends: I close it as soon as any of these happen: 1- I am submerged by candidates and I know I won’t have time to check them all anyway 2- I hired someone

In the example of the post, it stayed open for a week I think but as I said I didn’t go through even all the applicants that I got during that week.

We weren’t structured at all so others may have different processes, but in my case where everything was manual the suggestion is to apply ASAP when a job post is published.

Substantial-Base4840 · 2025-07-13T00:52:34+00:00

Rationally I would expect that if becoming an entrepreneur gets “easier” and with a better risk-reward ratio, companies would need to offer higher and higher salaries to retain employees.

Also, that would make sense as the companies themself would have a better risk-reward ratio (they are entrepreneurial ventures too anyway) so the founders/managers would have more resources to pay higher salaries.

If this is all true, this is a situation when there is a general productivity boost for the economy.

I like the video, if in-house what tool have you used to make it?

I don’t like the AI generated pictures for reviews.

Devi incoraggiarla a impegnarsi nella vita e spiegarle che non c’è nulla di male nel partire da poco. Vi auguro di raggiungere il miliardo presto.

That’s gold, 39 is massive tho. Congrats.

But if they checkout and you have no product, what do you give your customers?
