Why New Hires Need a Paid Week Off Before Starting
What if your next hire is already burned out before day one?
Brandon Amoroso sits down with Jen Paxton, who leads People and Talent at Roofr, to explore why the company gives new employees their first week off—with pay. They discuss the challenges of scaling a remote team across six countries, when to build versus buy HR tools, and how AI can help make hiring manager feedback more useful. Jen also shares a common startup hiring mistake: giving familiarity more weight than expertise.
