Yo!

I’m blown away at the response we got for the Healthy Competition Talent Collective.*

Two weeks ago, I invited Product Marketers and Competitive Intel practitioners to join the collective. Today, there are 36 (!) candidates in the collective that are ready to speak with hiring managers.

Now, I’m opening it up to companies that are hiring.

If you’re hiring for Product Marketing or Competitive Intel practitioners, I urge you to check these candidates out. Here’s a teaser of who’s in there:

• consultants and freelancers

• full-time individual contributors through sr. director levels

• experience working with world-class brands

Many of these candidates have not raised their hands as “open to work” in public spaces like LinkedIn. So you’ll be getting first dibs and can contact them directly :-)

Please note that once you apply, I have to approve your application before you can view the candidates. All applications are reviewed by me, personally. Feel free to follow up if you have any questions or feedback!

PS: Not hiring but know someone who is? Do me a favor and forward this email to them. Let’s get these awesome candidates some new jobs!

*ICYMI: the Healthy Competition Talent Collective is a new kind of job board that connects PMM and Competitive Intel candidates with employers who are hiring.
