Hi Reader,

Most hiring is broken.
Leaders hiring feel it.
Leaders looking feel it.

I joined Offor because we've spent 15 years building something better—a method that's clearer, fairer, and actually works.
We believe The Offor Method should be the standard for how critical roles get filled.

Not because it's ours.
But because it's clearer, fairer, more human.
And it works.

That kind of ambition means holding tight to what matters most.

So I've been grounding myself in a few truths that apply whether you're scaling a business, navigating a career transition, or simply trying to do work that doesn't erode who you are.

You can't scale special.

Growth is exciting, but it often flattens what makes work meaningful.

Whether you're choosing your next role or building a team, protect what energizes you.
The best leaders I know stay close to what actually fuels them, even as their responsibilities expand.

Imperfection builds trust.

In a world of AI-polished everything, authenticity stands out.

The honest "I'm still figuring this out." The willingness to admit mistakes.
These aren't weaknesses. They're what make leaders worth following.

Your value isn't in having all the answers.
It's in your willingness to figure it out as you go.

Vision beats bandwidth.

Some weeks you're stretched thin and can barely remember why you chose this path.

That tension isn't a warning sign.
It's proof you're growing into something bigger.

Don't shrink your goals to match your current capacity.
Let that stretch sharpen your focus and strengthen your support system.

I'm writing this down because I don't want to forget.

And maybe you needed the reminder too.

Warmly,
Justin
