- strong vetting builds trust, which shows up as rising client satisfaction scores and clients returning without reposting jobs
- companies often stick with the same hiring sources out of habit, so looking beyond the usual job boards can surface senior talent who are not actively job hunting
- years of experience matters less than being able to talk clearly and confidently about what you have actually built
- when interviewing, aim for a peer to peer conversation instead of a formal interrogation, the best interviews feel like two experts talking shop
- early career professionals should get good at articulating business problems and reasoning through tradeoffs, not just citing technical skills
