A model, or a method
Sometimes capacity or cost maths with the assumptions visible. Sometimes the way a function was structured, or the order a change had to happen in.
A letter on how hiring actually runs
A req touches everything. Nobody writes that down.
Written from inside a global talent function: how the function is built and staffed, what it costs to run, and which of the options in front of you actually hold up once you run them. No trends, no vocabulary you have to translate.
Written from both sides of the desk, and currently from the inside: talent acquisition operations and transformation at a 75,000-person technology company.

The trade-off, not the recommendation
Two ways to organise the same work, what each one actually costs, and which I would pick again. Most writing hands you one answer and hides the price of it.
03
The decision, and what it cost
What was chosen, what broke afterwards, and the pilots that were quietly stopped. Framed so it survives the executive conversation you will have to have about it.
Read it before the decision, not after it
Most writing about hiring explains what already happened. This arrives while you can still do something with it. One letter every other thursday, and one click to leave. The archive stays open either way.
