HR The Next Leap Oligo: “Top-tier talent can be selective, while others face a more competitive market” Maya Green, Chief HR Officer at Oligo, discusses the current labor market dynamics in Startup Nation, and how the team has inspired resilience and retention despite ongoing security challenges and the AI revolution, as part of CTech’s HR: The Next Leap series. Since March of this year, the job market has tilted into an employer's market. According to Maya Green, Chief HR Officer at runtime cybersecurity firm Oligo, “candidates still have leverage, but it is concentrated now.” She maintains that “top-tier talent can be selective, while others face a more competitive market.” From active and looming war threats, to AI rapidly and constantly redefining what it means to be productive, running a company in Startup Nation brings with it its own category of challenges and rewards. HR: The Next Leap takes a glimpse into the heart of Startup Nation via the HR professionals shaping its culture. We survey the executives whose jobs are more demanding and more vital than ever, as they heed the future-proofing of their workforce, while simultaneously ensuring business continuity and employee wellbeing during relentlessly unprecedented times. Reflecting on her experience amid the ongoing security challenges Startup Nation has faced, Green recalls that “we’ve had interviews interrupted by sirens, which naturally impacts the natural flow of the hiring process, but it created a unique bonding experience, as we had candidates join us in the shelter.” She adds that “they felt like they were already a part of Oligo.” You can read the entire interview below.
