Hire Learning ✦

HOSTED BY PAIGE ROBINSON

Real conversations with founders & operators you should know.  

For ten years, I’ve walked alongside founders and operators. These are some of my favorites - not because they’ve gotten it all right - but because they operate with a level of authenticity and conviction that can at times produce contrarian points of view, and they’re willing to share what worked and what didn’t.

These are the conversations I want to have, and I thought other founders and operators would find them interesting too.

Follow me on LinkedIn for the short-script hot takes & truth bombs.

Meet Paige.

Paige began her career as a consultant at Alvarez & Marsal, helping clients solve complex business problems around HR strategy and technology. However, raised by a serial entrepreneur, Paige had the itch to start her own company, so in 2013, she founded Trellise, a recruiting platform that matched college students with potential employers. 

Paige humbling (and humorously) admits Trellise didn’t work, but it gave her the confidence and conviction to start Will Reed, a sales recruiting firm that would help hyper-growth tech companies like AppDynamics, MongoDB and Qualtrics build regional offices in Dallas and Austin. 

Since then, Will Reed has evolved into the go-to-market executive search firm it is today. Paige’s passion is partnering with early-stage founders to help them build human-first cultures that positively influence the way we live and work. Paige is a visionary and philosopher who loves all conversations around growth, culture, faith and world affairs. 

A proud graduate of Texas A&M, Paige and her husband Travis reside in Dallas, Texas and are doing their best to raise four good humans: Teddy, Reese, James and Scarlett.
