Recruiting top talent is a sales process. We were setting up an on-site for a candidate when he mentioned his wife. I heard it the way I’d hear it on a sales call: there’s another stakeholder. So I told James, our recruiter, to fly her out with him and bring her to dinner with us. James pushed back and said hiring isn’t a deal. It’s 100% a deal. There’s an offer on the table. There’s pricing and a negotiation. And there’s someone who will never sit in an interview but has a say in whether he signs. If she doesn’t want to move to San Francisco, he won’t take the offer, no matter how well the on-site goes. A stakeholder who hasn’t bought into Artie yet stalls deals the same way. The head of data signs off after the POC. Then someone from security or procurement or another executive shows up late, nobody has briefed them, and the deal sits for weeks. Hiring is like working a deal. You lose the candidate the moment you ignore the stakeholder who isn’t in the room.

Recruiting dual nationals is a complicated process. For players, they are emotional decisions tied into national and cultural identity. For one potential #USMNT# dual-nat, it could be even bigger. Not every process is as simple as "come play for the U.S."

🇮🇱🇧🇷 Hezbollah is reportedly recruiting convicted criminals in Brazil to prepare terrorist attacks against Jewish communities and Israeli targets across Latin America. Rather than relying on ideological supporters, the Lebanese militant group is allegedly targeting criminals struggling financially, offering them money and sending them to Lebanon for training. The operation was uncovered through Brazil's Operation Trapiche investigation, launched in November 2023 with assistance from Israel's Mossad. One suspect, Lucas Passos Lima, allegedly traveled to Lebanon twice before returning to Brazil and filming three synagogues, a Jewish cemetery, the Israeli embassy and a rabbi near Brasília. Investigators also uncovered suspected weapons training, covert communications and financial networks involving Brazilian businesses. In a separate case, a São Paulo cryptocurrency broker is accused of creating digital wallets for Hezbollah and the IRGC to facilitate money laundering and terrorism financing. The suspected strategy is to use ordinary criminals as operatives, making potential attacks appear to be isolated acts of violence rather than coordinated terrorist operations.
