I’m tired of reviewing resumes that all start to blur together. I did not get into recruiting to spend my week opening hundreds of resumes that all seem to say the same thing, responding to the same generic job description, and trying to figure out who is actually worth a conversation. And honestly, I don’t…

The PromptMates squad keeps cookin’. Here are two builds from this week that I think are worth a peek because they’re a good look at what’s possible right now. Aston Rankins: The Batcave The why: Aston had two things bugging him. All the knowledge he’d built up about his professional relationships was living in his…

Most of what I read about AI in recruiting falls into one of two buckets: hype (“AI will replace your recruiting team by 2027, click here to find out how”) or fear (“AI is coming for your job”). Neither one really matches what’s actually happening inside teams that are doing this well. So instead of…

There’s a lot of noise right now about “AI adoption” in engineering: vague claims about productivity, thinkpieces about the future of QA, dashboards nobody trusts. What’s harder to find is the practical stuff, so I pulled my friend Nat aside, a senior quality engineer and someone who’s spent the last few months building AI tools…

Most sales reps did not sign up for data entry. I know I didn’t. And yet, a huge chunk of the job still comes down to writing notes, updating a CRM, and trying to remember what a prospect said three calls ago and when to follow-up. For reps who manage a large book of business,…

One of my favorite parts about recruiting isn’t just filling jobs. It’s talking to people who solve problems. This week I had a conversation with Catia, a technical recruiter who’s spent the last decade sourcing engineering talent. We started talking about GitHub sourcing, and within a few minutes she casually mentioned she’d built her own…

A recap of Promptmates Live, featuring Jamie Lyons (The Rec Lab) and Matt Parker (Move) If you’ve spent any time building with AI over the last year, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: the outputs work, but they look like AI made them. Clunky HTML files. Generic dashboards. Candidate outreach that’s functionally solid but visually forgettable.…

I’ve been running my own version of this setup for a while now, using Fireflies to capture meetings and Cowork to turn the mess of transcripts, calendar invites, and follow-ups into something actually usable. It’s saved me hours every week. So when I saw a post in PromptMates breaking down a similiar system, I knew…

It’s time we retire the mentality that someone who has been out of work for three months to two years is somehow weaker than a candidate with “better tenure.” Honestly, if I had five bucks for every candidate I came across with great tenure who turned out to be a C player, I could retire.…

The PM slack channel is off the chain! Every week I come across builds that make me stop and think, “That’s a clever way to solve that problem.” Here are two that stood out to me this week: 1. Stub Skills + Source Skills This concept, shared by Dan, tackles a problem that anyone building…

The PromptMates community keeps proving that some of the most useful AI tooling isn’t coming out of big product teams. It’s coming from practitioners who got tired of a specific, everyday problem and decided to fix it themselves. Three recent shares from the community are great examples of that. One rethinks how sourcing tools score…

I’ll admit: When I first started hearing people talk about “vibe coding,” I wasn’t convinced it was for me. My thought is, if I can’t read the code, how can I trust what I’m building? I’ve always believed technical fundamentals matter. Understanding architecture matters. Knowing how systems connect matters. So instead of jumping straight into…
