Hi there,

Brief update from us this time. Biggest thing on our list: getting more candidates in. Two asks for you:

• We've shared our positions on Twitter here and on LinkedIn here. It would be amazing if you'd be willing to share those. If you happen to know anyone that would be a great first engineering hire, let us know.
• Do you have suggestions on where we could share our positions? Specific newsletters or platforms that jump to mind that worked for you? Please share them.

What happened at Rise?

• Shipped improvement that, after using Find a time, allows to instantly see the full calendars of everyone involved. The goal of this feature is to show you why Rise picked the specific slot (so you'll skip that view the next time).
• Willem spent most of his time on hiring, doing outreach to our own network and beyond
• Emiel prepared the landing page outline for our funding announcement
• Rick kicked off his pre-order campaign for his book GRIP, which will be available in the US and UK in February 2022

What's next?

• We're all focussed on hiring: Senior Backend Engineer and Senior Frontend Engineer
• If there's some time left, we'll pick up things from our long list of product improvements around scheduling

Have a great week, talk to you in two,
