Weekday (YC W21)’s Post

As hiring evolves, one truth stays constant—companies are built by people, not processes. The best ones still choose intent over resumes! This episode of The Weekday (YC W21) Show is a reminder that hiring isn’t just about skills, it’s about intent, ownership, and care. We sat down with Tanvi Lal, Head of People at AppsForBharat, a Bangalore-based spiritual tech startup. 📢 What you’ll hear in this episode: • Why intent & ownership matter more than pedigree • How to return stronger after a career break or gap year • A real story of how a 30-60-90 plan helped someone get hired • What makes a cover letter actually get read • How to self-reflect after multiple rejections • What AI can assist with — and what only humans can do 👨💻 Who this episode is for: • Job seekers navigating rejections or gaps • Women rejoining the workforce • Founders & hiring managers scaling culture-first teams • Early-career HRs and recruiters learning modern people practice This conversation is grounded, practical, and full of stories that reflect the real hiring world - beyond templates, beyond buzzwords.
