Talent Makers

Praise for Talent Makers "Once you have something, nothing else really matters but the team you build. Your company is not your product, or even your customers. It's your team. Daniel and Jon have been the single most innovative leaders in hiring in business software, leaning in very early on and bringing the sort of powers to find, manage, and empower talent to every business...that used to just be reserved for the elite in tech. If you want to read one single 'business book' on how to win, it should be one about great teams. Read Talent Makers ." --Jason Lemkin, Investor, Business Partner, Founder and CEO of SaaStr and SaaStr Fund "In this thoughtful, research-backed book, Dan and Jon provide a compelling framework and data-driven tools for leaders who increasingly realize the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion and want actionable strategies for bringing about change. Talent Makers maps out the path to more fair hiring practices that block implicit biases and allows companies to become better at hiring. --Shelley Correll, Professor of Sociology and, by courtesy, Organizational Behavior, Stanford University "While there are many paths a company can take to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion, they must all begin with getting hiring right. In Talent Makers , Daniel Chait and Jon Stross break down the steps to build an effective hiring culture that attracts top talent, reduces bias in hiring decisions, and creates more opportunities for candidates from diverse backgrounds." --Jon Winkelried, Co-CEO of TPG
