About This Podcast

The best career advice in recruiting and talent gets shared in private conversations over coffee. Insights that never make it to the broader community. We want to change that. Welcome to Behind the Growth – a podcast where emerging talent leaders get behind-the-curtain access to career stories from industry architects at LinkedIn, Meta, Stripe, Anthropic, and beyond. This isn't about company case studies or industry trends. It's about the humans who built the talent functions we admire – and the winding paths that got them there. Each conversation feels like eavesdropping on a 1-1 coffee chat. The kind where leaders share their real stories: the pivots that scared them, the mistakes that taught them, the frameworks they swear by.
