In this episode of Project Gamma, Warner Moore welcomes Chad White, Founder of Rogue Talent, to talk about something that doesn’t show up on a resume: how relationships drive career momentum.

Together, they explore:

• Why tech executives – CTOs, CISOs, and startup leaders – should take ownership of hiring

• Why executive candidates should build community outside of their organizations

• What makes a recruiter truly valuable in a field flooded with automation

• How best in class recruiters can create competitive advantage for candidates

• Time-to-hire realities (from 8 weeks to 18 months) and how to “create luck”

• The importance of alignment between personal values and career moves

Chad shares what it means to run a human-first recruiting business in an age of AI, and why never using an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) has been his edge over the past 10 years. Warner reflects on the importance of proactive networking, internal clarity, and why building your team isn't something you can delegate.

📚 Give and Take by Adam Grant

📚 The Go-Giver by Bob Burg & John David Mann
