What You Should Do To Prepare For The Next Downturn

Buses ferrying tech workers between San Francisco and San Jose. By GEORGE AVALOS | gavalos@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group Continue To Invest The typical mentality for a lot of companies is to scale back during the downturn. It is probably the right thing to do to scale back on things like advertising, marketing, and operations etc. But not with research and development. A lot of companies came out much stronger after the downturn are companies that continue to invest in R&D. During the downturn, you can bet that competition will become ever more fierce. Unless you have a better product, you are going to lose business. The last thing you want to do is to cut the R&D budget. If a company can afford to, it should increase R&D budget to make the products even more competitive. But make sure it is invested in the right areas and can help to drive more sales. Read More...

Would You Take a Job For A Better Job Title? Why We Need More Letters In The CXO Title

Source: Strategyzer Not too long ago, a high tech company was about to hire a senior person from a Fortune 500 company. All went well except for one thing. And it was not about money. The candidate wants the CTO title but it was taken already. They can’t take away the CTO title from the other person so they offered the candidate a different title — Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) to close the deal! Sounds familiar? This is very common especially with startups in the high-tech industry as it is very hard to find qualified and talented people.

Typically, the “C” stands for Chief and the “O” stands for Officer. Sounds pretty simple? Not anymore. If we look up the List of Corporate Titles in Wikipedia, there are forty-nine “CXO” titles listed. And there are probably more we haven’t even heard of! Rea

Ben Horowitz’s Three Steps Guide To Hiring - Don’t judge a book by its cover

Source: The Rosen Group Finding talents has always been a major challenge for many companies especially in the Artificial Intelligence field. Even big companies have to mobilize their celebrity CEOs to hire top talent. For example, JP Morgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon just poached Professor Manuela Veloso from Carnegie Mellon University to be their Head of Artificial Intelligence Research. Most startups do not have a celebrity CEO and they cannot offer a lucrative compensation package like the tech giants. In his book “The Hard Thing About Hard Things”, he spoke about the challenges in hiring a VP of Sales when he was the CEO of Opsware. After interviewing about two dozen candidates and none of them had the strengths he sought. Then Ben interviewed Mark Cranney. Mark did not have the stereotype of a hard-charging sales executive. He was not tall and he went to a school that Ben never heard of — Southern Utah University. Mark also made people feel uncomfortable. However, after Ben spent more
