EMPLOYER BRANDING
Issue #455
1 Oct 2025
I’ll say it now for the record: ‘war for talent’ is a term which needs to be rehabilitated, if only for the truly elite hires at the frontier of AI work. It’s a mind bending paradox that competition for having the best AI may yet depend on having the best humans in the team. Mark Zuckerberg coming down from the CEO role to personally recruit from the competition - with reportedly $100 Million dollar signing bonus to those who join. From the EB POV, pretty good employer branding to have your CEO occasionally do this?
