WHAT IS TALENT AND TALENT ENGINEERING

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

'Talent' and 'Talent engineering' are two new roles that have recently emerged. Frontier labs, VCs, and startups are hiring for both roles. A 'talent' is a person who is great at attracting smart people and has deep relationships with all of them. A 'talent engineer' is someone who loves to build people tools and is also a great engineer. The highest talent density companies now hire based on a blend of talent and talent engineering rather than using the traditional model of recruitment.
