Thrilled to release another episode of Intrro’s scaling stories, a discussion with talent leaders about their lessons building teams at some of the worlds fastest growing companies.  

In this episode I learn from Ruby B, who is leading technical tecruitment at Astra and is an acgive career coach. Astra is a uniquely cool company that manufactures rockets and are hiring some of the world's smartest minds {their CEO was the CTO of NASA}.

Recorded at “the office” Ruby spoke to us from the Naval Air Station Alameda, known as "Orion" which is a former naval jet engine testing facility!

Ruby has scaled teams ranging from small YC startups to Coinbase, Lyft and Waymo. We get into the nitty gritty areas of building a well oiled TA function from scratch at high quality and speed, as Astra are set to scale from 250 to 1,000 FTE next year. 

This was a remarkably candid conversation, with amazing actionable tips on eliminating practices that negatively impact the company’s D + I initiatives, the importance of interview standardization when scaling, building solid relationships with your hiring manager & so much more!
