In this new episode of The Growth Department: Ellie and Jane sit down to talk marketing tech stacks for this quarter.

From Claude and ChatGPT to Monday.com, Notion, Trello, Slack and Microsoft Teams, they walk through what's actually earning its place in a marketing team's toolkit right now, and why relying on a single AI platform is a mistake.

They also make the case for in-person learning and conferences as the fastest way to stay ahead of an industry that moves weekly.

Nobody tells you what a recruiter actually thinks when they see a gap on your CV.
In this first episode of The Hiring Room, Jack and Sarah get into the conversations they're having right now around career breaks.

Covering whether the reason matters more than the break itself, how to turn a break into a strength, and whether some industries are more forgiving than others.
"Does the reason for the break matter more than the break itself?"
"Should candidates lead with the gap upfront, or let it surface naturally?"
If you're navigating a break, considering one, or just curious what's really happening behind the scenes in hiring this one's for you.
