Secrets of Startup Recruiting in the US AND Japan! (feat. Sho Takei) | E2233
TWiST is coming to you all from TOKYO as we launch Japan’s first-ever Founder University! That’s right, a full week of key insights from Japan’s top founders, investors, and tech visionaries… when we can pull ourselves away from our favorite izakaya spots, that is. First up, Jason welcomes [HyreSearch.com](http://hyresearch.com/) co-founder Sho Takei, a veteran of Uber and CloudKitchens who now helps startups recruit top talent from around the world. Together they discuss the massive changes AI is bringing to every facet of the hiring process, Sho’s experiences working for infamously “super-pumped” Travis Kalanick, his tips for for establishing a corporate culture when hiring your first few employees, why being a co-founder is just a bit like getting married, and LOTS MORE.
Key Points
- Remote work has dramatically shifted the talent market, creating a divide between those who prefer remote flexibility and those who thrive in an office culture.
- In Japan, stock-based compensation has become more accepted over the past decade, partly due to the success stories of early employees at companies like Uber.
- Founders must invest time in selling their company to potential hires, ensuring a positive candidate experience to attract top talent, especially in a competitive market like Japan.
