Hiring, enhanced
Back in 2015 Patrick McDermott started hosting meals with 9others in Tehran. In fact, Patrick was one of the very first overseas hosts — he hosted 9others in Singapore and then in Tehran even before he came to a meal with 9others back in London where Katie and Matthew first met him!
One of the ‘others’ at the very first meal in Tehran was Moe Nazariha and he has recently launched Open Shortlist, a startup focused on solving one of the biggest challenges growth-stage startups face; hiring at scale, and doing so without compromising quality or overspending on bad hires.
That’s done by keeping the best of their human expertise and enhancing it with AI so that founders stop over-paying for (bad!) traditional agencies.
Intrigued? Help out
Right now, Moe is taking Open Shortlist through the essential deep-dive in the discovery phase, working to understand the real pain points founders face in scaling their teams.
Moe reckons the tricky part is identifying the specific team-scaling challenges that founder face, and wants to know what day-to-day decisions founders are making to try to address them.
If Moe and his colleagues can get that right then they can focus on solving the right problems for the right companies.
Have you been there?
Many in the 9others network have navigated the tough road of scaling, and that experience is exactly what could help Moe (and, in turn, you!) avoid more costly mistakes.
Insights from founders in this network could truly shape the approach, and Moe would love to hear more perspective, opinions, push-backs and challenges.
If you're open to helping a fellow 9others-er refine their focus then Moe would love to have a (max) one hour conversation.
If you’re keen to help please book a time directly with him here.
Get in touch!
