Hirect, the chat-based direct hiring platform, has released its second insight report, which includes a detailed analysis of how companies should restructure their hiring strategy at each stage of a startup’s life cycle, from seed to IPO.

As companies grow, they must reassess their staffing needs.
The report gives information about the interactions between recruiters and candidates:
- The crucial importance of workplace culture, remote work, and career growth
