When start-ups scale fast, hiring often gets pushed down the priority list. When growth takes off, this often gets sidelined behind fundraising, delivery, or product launches.  But without a clear hiring strategy, it’s easy to end up here: ⚠️ Roles defined too broadly or too late ⚠️ Hiring competing with fundraising and delivery ⚠️ Top candidates vanishing to faster offers ⚠️ Great technical hires struggling to fit the culture It’s a pattern our recruiters see every week in scaling tech teams. The good news? It’s fixable…with strategy, focus, and the right process. In our latest blog, Guillian Eller shares how to avoid the most common hiring mistakes (and make exceptional data hires in two weeks or less).

As Ashish Bansal shared on our latest episode of The Data & AI Podcast, not every student has access to one-to-one help. Teachers have limited time.  Parents can’t always fill the gap.  And curiosity often gets left behind. AI can help with that, not by replacing teachers, but by giving every learner a personalised, judgment-free tutor available 24/7. One that: • Adapts to each student’s pace and progress • Guides reasoning with step-by-step prompts • Encourages curiosity instead of answer-dumping It’s a small shift with big implications: equal access to learning, no matter where you live or what you can afford. 🎧 Hear Ashish Bansal and Jayme Oshaben discuss how AI can amplify access and curiosity in education.: https://lnkd.in/dfnvSG9z #DataAndAI #EdTech #AIinEducation #HarnhamPodcast #LearningInnovation

You need people who can ramp up fast and deliver impact, but speed usually brings risk. Turns out, with the right strategy, it doesn’t have to. In our latest blog, Guillian Eller shares how start-ups are filling highly specific data roles in as little as 15 days.

Too many companies are using GenAI to patch broken support systems. But as Ashish Bansal put it in our latest episode of The Data & AI Podcast: “Automating a bad process is still a bad process.” The goal isn’t to add another chatbot on top of a frustrating customer journey. It’s to redesign the experience so people never need support in the first place. Harnham’s Jayme Oshaben and Ashish also dive into: • Embedding contextual help directly where users get stuck • Using account data to remove friction and repetition • Measuring success by faster resolutions, not just ticket volumes If you’re exploring where AI can make real impact on customer experience and product design, this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/dfnvSG9z #DataAndAI #GenAI #HarnhamPodcast

73% of investors say they expect companies to scale their AI efforts this year. But for many, the real challenge isn’t interest, it’s implementation.
