Episode 1: What You Should Know with Paul DeBettignies aka Minnesota Headhunter
September 15, 2020
Here it is… my first episode of What You Should Know.
First some background…
I have long missed my conversations before, during and after with Casey Allen and Kathy Grayson when we did the MSP On Deck Podcast.
Like when I started this blog in 2005, I have things to get out of my brain.
With the “shutdown” one of the most frequently asked questions of me is, what’s going on in/with (fill in the blank).
This July 7th text from Kurt Schmidt (@krts), President of Foundry and Creator of The Schmidt List:
Idea: “This week in TC Tech Hiring” a weekly show where you give the low down on who’s hiring and laying people off. I’d listen to it.
And then a marathon of a catch up all with Kurt last week that included a commitment by me to do something like this and a promise from Kurt that if I didn’t there might be bodily harm done to me.
Look at me… did it in less than five days.
I’m not fancy with this and likely will not be… I promise if you have interests in the Minnesota tech scene, are recruiting or doing a job search in the region and are good with tangents, rants and squirrel moments then this may be for you.
