Founder Tip: Gratitude is a recruiting strategy.

Trey Holterman, co-founder of Tennr, got humbled by the market early. So did his co-founders. That knocked out any belief that they were so great and that everyone else was there to support them. What replaced it was genuine excitement about who they get to hire. He'll tell a new hire directly — I cannot believe I get to work with you

Because he means it, the interview process is exhaustive. Zealots only. People who want to run hard at a difficult problem. When you're genuinely grateful for who you get to work with, you can't afford to hire wrong.

Job Search Tip: Use AI as your resume collaborator, not your ghostwriter.

Most candidates paste AI-generated text straight into their resume and call it done. Jassi Starleaf, Senior Global Recruiter at Quillbot, has a better approach: use AI to sharpen your thinking, not replace it.

Let AI pull keywords, trim bullet points, and clean up grammar. Then go back in and swap the vague buzzwords for specific examples that prove your impact.

As Jassi puts it: "Think of AI as a colleague sitting beside you, double-checking your work and making you sound better."
