In this monologue, the speaker describes a recent experiment where the team allocated $2,500 to LinkedIn advertising and successfully hired two mid‑level employees who are performing well. Encouraged by this result, the speaker posted additional job ads over a weekend, including director‑level positions, and began engaging with candidates who have held promotions at other companies. The speaker argues that modest spending on paid job ads can quickly generate qualified talent for mid‑level and some senior roles, while acknowledging that such ads are unlikely to attract C‑suite executives like COOs or SVPs. The overall message is a pragmatic shift from relying solely on overburdened recruiters to supplementing recruitment pipelines with inexpensive, targeted ad campaigns.
