Welcome to the first episode of the Smart Startup English Podcast!
Our goal is to help startup professionals take their English from intermediate to advanced in just 10 minutes a day. In each episode, we’ll talk about a topic related to the startup world, and we’ll learn some vocabulary that you can use to sound more natural in your day-to-day business interactions in English.
In this episode, we’re talking about an evergreen topic in the startup world: how to get talented people to join your team.
If you’re facing this challenge as a startup founder, it might be helpful to think about it from a different perspective: What’s the most important thing that would make you decide to apply for a job? Is it the salary? The location? How well-known the company is? What would make you say yes to one job and no to another?
In this lesson, we’ll teach you 10 Business English terms to talk about hiring and retaining talent.
A few terms we’ll talk about are:
- to play up your advantages
- candidate engagement
- to build a talent pool
