Greenhouse Software
About this episode

For Chief People Officer Susan Lee, humility is one of the things she loves the most about working at SeatGeek, a company that helps the world enjoy live events. During this episode, Susan shares what she values in a strong recruiting team, and how that brings company culture to life in every part of the business, all within an environment of humility.

In each episode of Hiring for What's next – The Talent Makers Studio, we’re speaking with leaders from every part of the business to discover how they prioritize great hiring - and the impact it has on their organizations.

We’re living in a new age in which the product isn’t nearly as important as the people who make it. Talent has the single-biggest impact on a company’s bottom line and long-term success, which makes the ability to uncover and hire the right talent, at the right time, for the right roles the most valuable business function. Great hiring is not just the result of great recruiters working their magic. It’s a company-wide commitment that's vital to building amazing workplaces.

And it all starts with our leaders.

At Greenhouse, we know that great leaders are Talent Makers. They understand what it takes to elevate hiring to a strategic capability that pushes the business forward. Smart recruiting is not easy. That’s why we’ve asked some brilliant folks to share the challenges they’ve overcome and the lessons they’ve learned on the road to aligning their people strategy to their business strategy.
