Discovering RecOps - Passion and Problem-Solving by Geva Whyte
The following is an excerpt from Geva’s article as part of our Discovering RecOps series:
What was your first taste of RecOps?
I had my first hit of recruiting after I graduated college. I worked as a Sourcer for a boutique firm, but I wasn’t ready for a 9-5 job yet so I ended up leaving after a year. I was more interested in the operations side of things: how does recruiting exist as a function in a startup environment? I got my first real Costco-sized sample of RecOps again with Lyft in 2020, but a minor inconvenience called COVID cut that time short. I truly cut my teeth and developed my knowledge in RecOps with Stripe and haven’t really looked back since.
What led you to fully commit to RecOps?
Just the simple fact that I like it. There’s a cornucopia of problems (or “opportunities” for you optimists out there) within the world of RecOps, and those problems vary from organization to organization, depending on their size and maturity. I’m somebody who is constantly chasing mental stimulation and interesting problems (cough opportunities, cough) to solve, so it seems like a good fit for now.
