Silo-In

A Monday confession of an Ex-Headhunter Here's the dirty truth: your competitors and headhunters know your people better than you do. Think about that. I spent a third of my career as a headhunter—tracking talent, knowing them better than their own companies ever could. When I jumped to talent acquisition, tasked with scrounging internal talent for business dev, bids, or plugging project holes, it hit me hard. It was brutal. As a headhunter, I had it all—skills, experience, projects—right at my fingertips, all from outside the company's walls. This talent blindspot costs companies millions in lost bids, project delays, and unnecessary external hires. Worse, it drives your best people straight to competitors who actually see their potential. After witnessing this pattern repeatedly, I became obsessed with solving the internal talent visibility problem. What if companies could map their own talent as well as the ones trying to poach it?

Two weeks ago, I pitched Silo-In at BuiltWorlds, alongside incredible startups. A year ago, I couldn't have imagined this. Startups are rollercoasters without seatbelts - it's a wild ride fuelled by vision, delusion, positive impact and "I don't know how to do this" As a founder, you're constantly pushed out of your comfort zone. For me, it's always been public speaking. Thanks, BuiltWorlds & Michael Ho for the push! #construction #contech
