#35 - John Keenan
What does it take to hire and be hired at the highest levels in tech?
In this episode, I’m joined by John Keenan, International Recruiting Director at Gong and former global talent leader at LinkedIn and Pluralsight. We talk about what sets top candidates apart, the common mistakes that cost people offers, and how the best companies hire for both culture and potential. We also dig into hiring trends for 2025 and the one mindset shift every job seeker needs.
