Our teams @tryramp & @MeritFirstUS hosted GTM Intelligence night this week in NYC, digging into how sales roles are evolving, how Ramp leverages AI across the team, and what it means for hiring and finding great talent. Nothing beats having partners you genuinely enjoy working with. Our teams work incredibly hard, taking simple ideas very seriously (h/t Charlie Munger) - and it’s a blast to bring a big group together for a night like this. @max11free - you’re a legend. Lucky to be able to learn from you. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it possible. Let’s run it back!

If you're interested in actually hiring based on merit for your own team - get in touch: meritfirst.us

Exceptional people rarely come from identical backgrounds. The best teams recognize talent across different experiences, backgrounds, and ways of thinking. If you keep looking for the same credentials, you'll keep finding the same candidates. America cannot afford to keep making the same mistake.

To find great builders, you have to let them build. Our engineering team has been cooking up some very cool things for Virtual Desktop assessments. 💥
Currently building an OS that runs within your browser tab using @vercel sandboxes. Here we have a real claude code instance running headless inside the VM, building an isometric animation rendered by a browser-within-a-browser. We're using this setup to power immersive work sim assessments at @MeritFirstUS

awesome opportunity to work closely with @JTLonsdale & the @AmOptimistShow team excited for folks to get an early look at a new assessment environment we built & being used for the role optimists thrive on merit
We're hiring an intern. Work with @JTLonsdale & the team to help the optimists win. And the best part: no application. Prove you're the best via our @MeritFirstUS test. Who are we looking for? You're a fan of the pod, terminally online, and have sharp instincts for what matters -- and how to make people care. What will you do? Create content and work with new AI tools to help win the battle of ideas online. Take the test: meritfirst.us/candidate/test…

How do you quickly recognize top talent? Zack’s contests at MeritFirst are used by top AI teams - such as Ramp, below - to attract and hire talent based on ability, not resumes. Fascinating new tailored approach to talent and merit, only possible thanks to AI.
AI is fundamentally changing how teams operate. Designers are shipping code, GTM teams are building their own tools - people are taking on work that used to sit well outside the scope of their roles. There’s a massive opportunity for high-agency people who keep learning and pushing to drive better outcomes for the business - and for the companies that can find those people and give them the room to run. Very excited to dig into how @tryramp is doing this across their GTM team on Oct. 20 in NYC. We’ll talk about what they’ve tried, what has worked vs. what hasn't, and how they’re thinking about the people and skills they need as the work changes.
