In this second half of our two-part series on Behind the Search, we flip the lens and talk to Danni — serial founder, ex-CTO, and hiring manager — about what it actually looks like to be challenged well.
That's why we're diving into:
👉 What hiring managers actually want from recruiters (hint: it's not just volume)
👉 Why explicit expectations beat guessing every time
👉 The trade-offs behind niche tech stacks, seniority, and remote hiring
👉 Retainer vs. success fee — and why neither gets incentives fully right
👉 Why trust has to be earned, but respect is the starting point
Danni has built and hired for startups from the ground up, working with recruiters on both sides of the table — and has strong opinions on what makes that relationship actually work.
If you missed Part 1 with Abhay, start there — then come back for the hiring manager's take.
