Hiring is broken—and it has been for 50+ years.It’s chaotic.It lacks standards.And too many decisions are made on gut instinct instead of process.The result?* High attrition.* Short tenures.* The wrong people in the wrong jobs—hating work, counting the days until Friday.I learned this firsthand as a hiring manager at a Fortune 500 tech company.Recruiters wasted my time.The process was a mess.And I was expected to make high-stakes hiring decisions with zero real support.I knew there had to be a better way.So in 2011, I founded MSH—Make Sh*t Happen. Over the last 15 years we have built a company with:* Hundreds of employees.* 8 offices worldwide.* Over 15,000 successful hires across 43+ countries.I truly believe hiring should be precise, data-driven, and repeatable, not treated like a gut-feel guessing game.That’s why I’m building Aeon—AI-driven hiring software designed for hiring managers. It gives hiring managers real-time insights—not gut instincts. It makes interviews structured and fluid—so you get the best data, not just the best talkers. It’s the new hiring standard—because ATS systems dont make hiring outcomes better.Hiring isn’t just about filling roles. It’s about shaping companies, careers, and lives. That is what I care about.Hiring should be better. And we can fix it.
