Learning fuels growth. Sharing what you learn fuels community.

At TA Week, I was reminded why I keep showing up to these events year after year. It’s not just the content. It’s the people, the conversations in the hallways outside the ballrooms, the late-night idea exchanges by the campfire, and the real talk about where our industry is headed.

From moderating an incredible panel with Carrie Corbin Kerry Noone & Rebecca Smith SPHR Smith to getting schooled in sourcing by the wizard, Brian Fink, I left inspired and leveled up! 

What made this experience even more impactful was partnering with Pin.com - AI Recruiting on the ground. And I don't just partner with them, I USE PIN every day as an in-the-trenches recruiter! It gives me an edge in sourcing and outreach.

I captured some fantastic conversations with industry professionals like Vanessa Raath 🌍👩🏼‍🏫, Conor Kline, @Sarah Lai, Willena Long, Angela Cripps, Laura Bookout, Andrew Haggart and Michael Goldberg.

👉 TA Week always reinforces something I believe deeply: our space moves fast, and the best way to stay relevant is to stay curious, stay connected, and keep learning from each other.

Grateful for the conversations, the insights, and the relationships that continue to grow from moments like these.

Already looking forward to the next one in 2027!

🏆 And a big shout-out to our friends at PIN, who make sourcing and outreach effortless with AI. Surface ideal candidates quickly, send personalized outreach at scale, and move from pipeline to interviews in less time. Check them out at PIN.com

What happens when you combine: Tacos + Bevvies+ Campfire on the 
San Diego Beach + All of your favorite TA homies + 50-foot T. rex???

👉 YOU GET THE JURASSIC HIRE PARTY!!! 🦖

I would have added s'mores as well, but POZ hates marshmallows! 

My friends at Pin.com - AI Recruiting & PerfectHire, with the help of Evan White and Purple Acorn, threw the best party at TA Week!

And I was there with #thePOZcast#thePOZcast to capture it all! The vibes were off the charts!

Along with killer tacos, I had some really fun TA talks with great TA people! It was so good to meet: Lisa Shay, Kevin W., Regina Lovelace, MBA, Dylan St.John-Foster, @Barbara Richard & more!

Straight up....fancy dinners and happy hours are fun, but the status quo. Being able to sit outdoors around a campfire, with no pretenses or need to force intros or conversations, was a game-changer.

👆 We need MORE of this type of "events" at every event! Let's run it back for 2027!

What was your favorite moment of TA Week?

Is the resume killer finally here?

Something big is about to shift in how talent gets seen.

Tomorrow, a new platform called Talvy launches, built around a simple yet powerful premise: 

👉 Resumes flatten talent. Video reveals it.

Since the dawn of time, the professional world has relied on static documents and keyword filters to decide who deserves a conversation. A one-page resume attempting to capture experience, work history, ambition, communication, leadership, and grit. 

Anyone who has ever hired knows how incomplete that picture is.

And we "boomers" are getting old, and there is a new generation in town, and they are video-native.

They grew up communicating through video. TikTok. FaceTime. Instagram Reels. YouTube.

For them, presence, storytelling, energy, and authenticity live on camera in ways text simply can’t capture. So the idea of a video-first professional network obviously makes a ton of sense.

Talvy, led by CEO KJ Hardrict and a founding team of MIT and Harvard alumni, is stepping into the multi-billion-dollar recruiting market with a platform designed to evaluate people the way they actually show up.

Not just what they wrote.

And they’re starting with communities that traditional hiring systems routinely overlook:
→ Former founders
 → Athletes
 → Military veterans
 → Students

👆 People who excel in execution, leadership, and resilience, but often lose the resume keyword & eyeball game.

There’s also something meaningful about who is building this platform.
Talvy’s founding team reflects talent pools historically filtered out of tech leadership, with Black and Asian operators across product, investing, and machine learning building infrastructure in a space long dominated by legacy incumbents.

That perspective matters because when the people designing the system change, the system itself often follows.

As someone who has spent over a decade in recruiting, I’ve always believed the biggest gaps in hiring aren’t about talent supply. They’re about signal detection.

We built hiring systems optimized for scanning documents.

But the future of work may require systems optimized for seeing people. Talvy is betting that video is the bridge.

So the real question now is, if the next generation communicates through video, why are we still hiring through PDFs?

Is the death of the resume within our sights????

All it takes is ONE person to believe in you to light that spark.

And in 2019, that man was Steven Lu.

He built Interseller.io, one of the first ML-powered sourcing and outreach tools. It was acquired a couple of years later by Greenhouse, and the rest is history. 

Steve and I connected, and he believed in what I was building with #thePOZcast  and became my first sponsor. Since I was just starting and didn't have a meaningful number of downloads (like hundreds), I bartered with him for sponsorship in exchange for use of the platform for NHP Talent Group.

The product was amazing and helped me not only improve my sourcing exponentially but also opened my eyes to the world of TA tech.

Fast forward to 2025 with Steve's current venture, Pin.com - AI Recruiting. I was hooked after the first test run and haven't looked back. Of course, I kick the tires on all the tools, but PIN stands out in so many ways (it works really well).

We continued to talk shop and life, with Steve always supporting and believing in me. And soon I met the team, including my now good buddy Conor Kline who might be the best hype man in the biz! 

🏆 Today, I am proud to announce that I have officially joined PIN as an advisor to help spread the good word of a great team and product in the TA tech space.

🔥 I am amped to have a front row seat on this rocketship! LFG!!! 🔥 

👉 Pin makes sourcing and outreach effortless with AI. Surface ideal candidates quickly, send personalized outreach at scale, and move from pipeline to interviews in less time.

Celebrate those who believe in you. Build long-lasting relationships the right way, and watch what happens. Trust me on this one!

TO THE MOON!!!!!

Personal Brand Strategist & Networking Coach → I help entrepreneurs, executives & teams build brands to attract clients, talent & opportunity | Family Man | Connector | AI & Blockchain Bull | Hot Sauce Aficionado🌶️

I help founders, entrepreneurs, and executives build businesses by becoming trusted, visible, and referenceable in their space. My work sits at the intersection of personal brand strategy, go-to-market execution, and AI-enabled operations. I help people understand how to show up across LinkedIn, search, and AI-driven discovery and how that visibility turns into real opportunity over time.

Currently, I'm working with Brandi (mybrandi.ai), helping companies understand how they show up inside AI-generated answers and recommendations, and how brand visibility, trust, and demand are increasingly shaped by systems they do not directly control.

Seeing this shift up close has changed how I help individuals and teams show up online.

A core part of my approach is what I call Voice Enablement with AI.

Instead of writing for people, I teach them how to use AI to think, draft, and create content in their own voice. Most clients stop writing from scratch and start editing instead. Content creation becomes faster, more consistent, and still unmistakably human.

How? Because we are using your actual voice!

What I help with most often:

• Founder and executive positioning and LinkedIn profile strategy
• Personal narrative clarity for humans, AI systems, and decision-makers
• Relationship-based networking and social selling without pressure tactics
• Using AI to streamline content creation, engagement, and workflows
• Measuring what actually matters in brand and go-to-market efforts

Alongside my advisory work, I take on select fractional go-to-market and operations roles, supporting teams during growth, transition, or strategic realignment.

I’m known for helping people:

• Clarify what makes them meaningfully different
• Build trust before asking for anything
• Turn visibility into opportunity over time
• Turn chaos into organized chaos ;)

I call this manifesting serendipity.

It’s not luck. It’s intention, consistency, and showing up in the right conversations long before you need something. It's being in someone's orbit often enough that you become the first person they think of when they need your product or service. 

It's about being top of mind. 

Outside of work, I’m a husband, a dad of two, an early-morning lifter, and a proud hot sauce aficionado 🌶️. 

If you’re building a brand, a business, or your next chapter, I’d love to jam with you.

Founder

I help executives, founders, and their teams build magnetic brands that attract clients, talent, and opportunity on LinkedIn. 

My services include: 

My services include: 
- Profile Optimization
- LinkedIn feature training
- Core content strategy
- Ghostediting (ask me about it)
- Content performance analysis 
- Sales Navigator training

Liam's Brand Stand was born out of my passion for personal branding and belief that LinkedIn is the ultimate platform for professionals and organizations to manifest serendipity and unlock opportunity.

This passion started as a fascination that turned into a hobby, then to a side hustle, and now, my full-time focus. I started creating content and being more intentional about building my brand here in January 2020 and since then I've amassed 35,000 followers and my content has garnered ~23,000,000 impressions, ~600,000 reactions, and ~100,000 comments. 

Completely organically.

Pretty crazy, especially when you consider I'm just a suburban dad who took to LinkedIn as a way to have conversation with other adults while cooped up in my house with my wife, a toddler, and an infant during a pandemic. 

That's the kind of opportunity that exists on LinkedIn and I'm on a mission to help more people experience it for themselves.

Saw this (Ai) video by AiCandy on Instagram and I couldn’t not share it. Talk about an attention grabbing ad for a video company… though I must say, a tad unsettling to think about. Too soon?

The future is here. Let us pray 

At least we have each other!
