Honestly, I gotta get this off my chest.
As an organization if you're is serious about doing right by Black people and inclusion as a whole, you have to invest in the future.
You have to start investing in these communities earlier. Making an effort to try and create roles

that would allow more people opportunities to get their foot in the door.
Black people collectively across the world have been marginalized. We've been robbed the chance to build the infrastructure to help facilitate more people into senior positions.

You need to be accessible WAY EARLIER. Foster the future and make things more accessible to them. Being more open to having Senior Black Talent is great but..there are only SO many of us in that space. Not enough of us get a fair shot to advance like that. That's systemic racism.
It would be more impactful to open up more entry-level positions that allow people to grow into the leaders you want.
Invest in the development of your staff and culture so you can foster a Junior Dev today and turn them into the Architect that you need tomorrow.

Okay this is birthed from a frustration I'm experiencing.
I've been trying to help a young man named Courtney break into the Tech scene as a Sales pro.
He's a fresh grad and he made his sales bones killing it in Door 2 Door sales for Sick kids.
Do you know HOW HARD that is?

I've managed to get him a few interviews with some Tech Startups but the feedback has been TRASH.
This was the reason I created a candidate commitment clause in JupiterHRs TOS because the feedback was BS.
Not a Cultural Fit or We need someone with existing SAAS experience.

How can you preach Inclusiveness and doing better but yet remain inaccessible? It's either hypocrisy or blindness or performative. I don't know what to call it specifically but it angers me. Like I am WELL CHEESED and annoyed to see this type of bullshit continue.
I am actually. OFFICIALLY issuing a challenge.
If you're following me and you say you care about DEI and you need a Sales Professional.
Let me put you in touch with Courtney. He has all the intangibles you need in a successful Sales rep. He's JUST lacking SAAS knowledge.

But that's something you can Teach.
You can't learn how to be fearless when cold calling. You can't learn how to take 50 nos to the face and not take it personally. You can't learn how to be charming, funny, and personable.

You can learn value propositions, how a product and industry works.
But the core stuff of being successful in Sales?
You either got it or you don't.
Coffee is for closers and Courtney would be pulling all-nighters from the caffeine in his system.
I stake my rep on that.

He's based in Toronto, Canada. He's a hard worker, a HUSTLER, and someone that in a few years would become a successful Sales leader. He just needs a fair shot.
DM me to get in touch with Courtney. There is no Recruitment/Agency fee attached. We need more of this. PERIOD.
