Hey folks,
First off, big thanks to all of you who’ve shared ideas for our Diversity & Inclusion pledge (in case you missed our last newsletter, see here). This is an ongoing effort, so stay tuned for follow ups soon.
On the hiring front, as you know, it’s been a wild few months with almost all hiring on pause through early July. Since then, things changed! 📈
We recently kicked off several new roles, and can finally say, “we’re back!” Hiring is not at 100% from pre-COVID but it feels ~70-80%… certainly a good place to start.
💵 Compensation Survey 2020
We’re launching our annual compensation survey (view 2019 results summary @ here) to gather data on salaries in startups - and we’ve updated it this year to include transparency by gender and race.
We NEED your input…PLEASE fill out below👇!
It is 100% anonymous and takes <5 minutes. For everyone who fills it out, we’ll share last year’s data immediately, and send the 2020 data in a few weeks.
PLEASE forward to at least 3 colleagues who work in business (non-engineering) roles at startups and tech companies.…the more participants, the better!

👋 Personal Update
We’ve moved…..again. And we are officially Coloradans. When I moved to New York, people asked if I’d change the name from Golden Gate Recruits to Brooklyn Bridge Recruits. I suppose you might ask if we’ll change it now to Rocky Mountain Recruits...
Given COVID, we left New York, moved temporarily to St. Louis (my hometown) and are now settling into Boulder, CO. Most importantly, Bear is a very happy mountain dog. 😊

It’s always great to catch up so shoot me a line and I’d love to hear from you!
❤️ Phil and the Golden Gate Recruits team
