Building a Global Team, One Good Vibe at a Time

I didn’t need a passport or a plane ticket, but in a single day, I spoke with people from all over the world. T—different time zones, accents, and life stories, all in one calendar.. Talent is truly everywhere now. Geography isn’t a limitation—it’s just part of the backdrop

Not a Recruiter, But Still Hiring

I’m not a recruiter by trade. I come from a different background, but in building teams and growing projects, I’ve had to learn the art (and science) of interviewing. And I’ve learned a lot.

The Interview as a Conversation

Interviews are no longer just about checking qualifications or ticking boxes. They’ve become moments of mutual discovery. I’ve learned to meticulously craft my questions, not just to hear answers, but to observe reactions. I fish for honesty, I probe through difficult moments—not to trip anyone up, but to understand how they think, how they reflect, how they handle complexity.

Vibes Matter

And yes, I absolutely believe in the vibe check. Because this isn’t just about whether a candidate is a fit for the company. It’s also about whether the company is a fit for the candidate. That’s a shift. Today’s onboarding doesn’t end with a signed contract—it continues through the first days, weeks, and months, making sure both sides feel alignment, purpose, and mutual respect.

The Global Hiring Mindset

Recruiting has changed  forever. We’re no longer hiring from a local pool—we’re building international teams across time zones, cultures, and perspectives. And with that comes a responsibility to not only assess talent but to nurture it, integrate it, and build systems that value people as much as productivity.

I didn’t set out to become an interviewer. But this globalized world has made that part of the journey. And I’m grateful for what it’s teaching me.

BTW, we’re hiring. Good vibes welcome. Check out the open roles at algert.co/careers
