The Modern Recruiter #29: How to be the first recruiter in a startup, with Shannon Toomey, Senior Manager, Recruiting @Descript.

For episode 6 of my podcast “A-players”, I received Shannon Toomey, who explained to me how to be a good first recruiter in a startup.
 
 Shannon was a Senior Tech Recruiter at Dropbox, and was also most recently the first recruiter at Descript, where she had to hire 50 people in 1 year.

Here’s what we discussed (among many other things):
 
 -What are the 3 key questions to ask to be sure a candidate is a good fit?
 -Why you it’s not always efficient to use scorecards to assess candidates?
 -What are the advantages of being the first recruiter in a startup, and is it for everyone?
