Hi LinkedIn, I’m Bill Even though I have 8815 followers on here, I just realized I've never properly introduced myself That ends today. 30 years ago I got into recruiting I was starting on my own: No team members No database of candidates I'd built relationships with No real reason anyone should have trusted me yet I was invisible, but I did have one thing Mirror Image, my first corporate contract turned client with a VP of Sales  Jim Vedda gave me the shot I needed. While I was working with him in Boston, he literally flew in a candidate he probably wasn't even going to hire just so I could sit in the room and watch. So I could learn to see the difference between a good player and an A player. That one afternoon changed the trajectory of my career. So I took that lesson and built years of relationships In the last 25+ years as President of Golden Hire, we have: - 25+ IPOs and acquisitions under our belt - Built a candidate database of 170,000 people - Assisted countless people in receiving life-changing equity  - Helped companies like Coralogix scale from $10M to $100M in revenue - Recruited talent in nearly every state in the country Although Jim is no longer with us, more than 90% of my client relationships can be traced back to people who had worked with or for him. I'm going to be more active on here to connect with tech leaders scaling their GTM teams, sales and marketing professionals ready for a high-impact next move, and investors who need a recruiting partner that actually understands their portfolio companies. If that sounds like you or someone in your network, send me a direct message. ♻️ Repost this if you believe the best hires still come from real relationships
