Been digging through our archive. Before Eric Vishria became a generational investor Benchmark, he was a founder we had the privilege of backing. 14 years ago, he put together a 10-minute talk for his peer CEOs on recruiting a management team. Quick summary: "Executive recruiting is a pain in... the ass. Finding the right people is a pain in the ass. Interviewing them is a pain in the ass. Closing them is a pain in the ass. Comp negotiation is a pain in the ass. Everything about it is a pain in the ass." 😂😂😂show more

@ericvishria @benchmark One of my favorite talks ever and one of my favorite stories ever

@ericvishria @benchmark it hurts me but @joshk loves it.

@ericvishria @benchmark these are so fun

@ericvishria @benchmark This is very good / evergreen advice
