TALENT OPS · OPERATOR DESK

MichaelAnderson

I've spent nearly a decade inside recruiting operations — understaffed teams, broken workflows, hiring managers with strong opinions and no time. I write about hiring from that side of the table, not the consultant side.

About Michael

Michael spent five years running recruiting operations at growing companies. Not advising on them — actually running them. He knows what it looks like when you have 80 open roles, a team of three, and a hiring manager who needs someone started in two weeks.

That background is pretty much why he writes. A lot of content about hiring is aimed at the people selling tools or setting strategy from the top. He is more interested in the people who are actually in it, trying to figure out what works and what is just adding steps to an already complicated process.

At Joblet.ai he covers recruiting operations, hiring workflows, and the technology that sits inside them.
