Opsy #8: Wanna meetup?

Caro Griffin -

The end of the year is upon us and I can't think of a better way to wrap things up than with your opsy selves.

Join us for the Opsy Holiday Party next week!

It's on Thursday, December 16th at 12:00pm ET. (That's 9am for you west coast folks and 5pm for you Londoners.)

As always, our meetups are a great opportunity to learn something new + grow your network. This time, with a little extra holiday cheer sprinkled in! ✨

The event is capped at 50 folks so save your spot today.

A new podcast ep dropped last week!⚡

The guest is Jennifer Kim — a font of wisdom about all things recruiting & people ops. I was so pumped to be able to pick her brain!

As the former Head of People at Lever, Jen is super knowledgeable about rapidly scaling a team while maintaining a great culture. And, as the founder of Startup Recruiting Bootcamp, she's also focused on helping us all get better at hiring.

Check out her episode, where we dig into:

  • The importance of HR/People Ops at a growing company
  • Best practices for scaling an early-stage startup without burning out
  • Why HR has such a bad reputation—and what to do about it
  • A simple strategy for supporting middle managers on your team. 💪🏻

... and so much more!
