Pride month is celebrated annually in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots, and the work towards equality for the LGBTQ community. In June of 1969, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City responded against police harassment and persecution, resulting in the historic uprising. These riots marked the beginning of LGBTQ movements globally, and is part of why we have Pride celebrations around the world.This year, in support of Pride Month, we are pleased to share a Fireside Chat with four LGBTQ Bufferoos. Here’s more about each of them and the labels they use to describe themselves:Dave Chapman, Senior Customer Advocate, “I would simply say gay, I’m a gay man. If anyone asks any further, then my pronouns are he/him/his, and I’m a cisgender gay man.”Julia Cummings, Senior Customer Advocate, “I would say queer or bisexual. I think queer might be more all encompassing for me.”Diego Sanchez, Senior Product Manager, “I’d go with just gay.”And myself, Katie Gilmur, DEI Manager, “I most identify with the label pansexual, or ‘lesbian leaning pansexual’, but I also use the labels queer and lesbian.”A note on labels: Idealistically, I envision a world where we don’t need labels, however, I recognize how immensely helpful they can be. I view sexuality as a spectrum, and sometimes people move within that spectrum. Labels can help people find community and give a sense of belonging and identity. They also can inadvertently create boxes that define someone and how someone should be, which can feel limiting. Sometimes these labels cause other people to make assumptions about how we should show up in the world, and they might cause us to hold ourselves to certain expectations or stereotypes, which could limit our own self discovery. It’s also important to remember that people might adjust their labels throughout their life, and language evolves to where different labels might resonate at different levels at different times.This fireside chat was an opportunity for us all to celebrate Pride month, feel more connected to our teammates, and learn more about the lived experiences and perspectives of a few members of the LGBTQ community. Our intention in this chat was to share real, vulnerable perspectives that include the full spectrum of emotions and experiences. You’ll see that we each have many differences and similarities within our LGBTQ experiences, providing a beautiful opportunity to witness and learn from one another.This is an edited transcript from a live video chat.What coming out was like for you? If you’re out in all areas of your life, if it’s different for you with your personal life versus work?Dave: Coming out in my personal life felt like delivering bad news to my family. It was really awful to go through. At work, I’d gradually felt more and more comfortable telling people about my sexuality as I grew more confident in myself and as society improved. Some anxiety still pops up from time to time, regarding personal safety, however it’s not due to fear of what someone might think of me. I feel secure that my value isn’t based on other people’s opinions of me, my sexual orientation, or my relationships.  It’s important to remember the coming out process happens constantly, especially depending on your environment and how you express yourself in the world.Julia: I never had a big coming out, but I’m very open to having conversations with people as they find out. I feel like I still have a lot I am discovering about myself, so sometimes I feel awkward talking about my sexual orientation because I don’t feel I have all the answers. I’ve considered myself as part of LGBTQ community for the last 2 years, but my path was paved over the past 13 years because of my dads journey. When my dad started a relationship with a man, people questioned his sexual orientation. I always felt that it didn’t necessarily matter – he was with a man now and happy. It’s true that you come out every day. I don’t always directly come out to people, and I feel a bit nervous telling people I am seeing a couple, although I’m open to talking more about it if asked. I feel the impact of bi-erasure as well. I don’t have many bisexual friends, and it’s very hard to know who is bisexual. I recognize, people probably perceive me as straight since I have mostly dated men and been in long term partnerships with men in the past. Diego: Coming out for me was pretty rough. I basically made a decision and I said, When I come out, I’ll come out, and it’s just like, there’s no turning back, and I’m just going to do it. If I have to move out, I’ll move out. If I have to do whatever, I’ll do it. I was very set in coming out and assuming whatever was ahead of me. I didn’t know what to expect.I was very inspired by what are called ‘militant gays’. I had read a lot about the very courageous folks that led to the revolution that led to us being here today. I read a lot about the AIDS crisis and about the Stonewall riots and absolutely all these amazing folks that fought for our rights. I think they had an almost militant attitude – that’s how I felt at the time. I figured like if I’m coming out, I’m going to firmly be myself, which would also support people that come out after me. I wanted to give them an example of someone who’s tough, who doesn’t act a different way because of society, who doesn’t hide anything. That was hard because after I came out to my family, I had other family members calling me, telling me to reconsider it, and to not come out so publicly. Telling me to tone it down. I was like, no, sorry, I’m not doing that. Shortly after coming out to my family, I started working at a big company and my parents suggested I refrain from coming out at work, thinking it would be better for my career. I was decidedly against that idea, and was set on coming out in all aspects of my life no matter the consequences. I worked at a big call center where there were about 1200 employees, but there was no gay representation. I wanted to be an example for everyone else that it’s okay to be gay at work. I mustered the courage to do what I hadn’t been able to do in high school, and came out at work.My boss was very supportive and I was in a position where I was not willing to accept any homophobia at all, so people were actually very nice. I think people perceived that firm energy and responded to it well – everyone was very respectful. They invited my partner and I to parties and other activities. I never experienced any homophobia in what I would expect to be very homophobic environment. Once I came out, it was like a switch, and I never looked back. I decided I’m not changing for anyone, and I wasn’t going to let my perception of myself be affected by what they think. Katie: I first want to mention the privilege that I had on my coming out journey. I didn’t feel that my life was at risk in a major way, which is something I want to acknowledge because not everyone is lucky enough to have that experience. I didn’t come out until I had a serious partner. I didn’t come out by telling people I was queer, but instead just introduced people to my partner. Because of this, my coming out journey was more gradual, rather than a big moment. I do remember my mom asking if I was experimenting and just in a phase, which was really invalidating and frustrating at the time because I was deeply in love. However, she quickly got up to speed with everything and she’s super supportive now.Coming out at work was different for me. I used to be incredibly private about my personal life at work, which is a bit amusing to reflect back on because I’m really authentic at work now! I didn’t come out at my first job out of college because it wasn’t a safe space. My best friend worked with me at the time, and we were really close (and still are!). My manager would sometimes harass me, making jokes about my friend and I dating or being gay because we would spend a lot of time together. It didn’t make me feel safe to actually come out and say who I was actually dating at the time, so I never did while at that job. All those little comments and microaggressions send loud messages regarding the level of safety that exists within an organization, especially when they come from people in power. I can directly correlate my comfort levels being out at work with how accepting the company is as a whole. Buffer is hands down the most LGBTQ inclusive organization I’ve been with, and I definitely feel the positive impact that has. I do want to acknowledge that coming out can be a daily practice. The pansexual label tends to resonate most because I am attracted to people based on energy and soul connection, however most of my serious relationships have all been with women. Since I was in a 10 year lesbian relationship, I have been perceived as lesbian for most of my adult life. But we can’t assume another’s sexual orientation based on the romantic relationships they are in, leading to issues such as bisexual erasure. While I now feel very grounded in my identity and those mini coming out moments don’t phase me anymore, it is important to remember that LGBTQ people – especially those who identify under the bisexual+ umbrella – often have to justify their sexual orientation on a regular basis.I still do think about my perceived sexual orientation when traveling to regions that have legal risks for the LGBTQ community, or being in a place where I feel there could be a physical safety issue. It might cause me to check myself a bit more, be more aware of my surroundings, and be extra protective of my partner. We have to remember that no matter how out and proud someone is, there can still be very real risks they have to mitigate on a regular basis.What is something that you wish your coworkers knew about supporting the LGBTQ community at work, or something that would have felt or could currently feel supportive to you in relation to your experience as someone who is LGBTQ?Dave: The fact that we’ve created an environment intentionally at Buffer that is inclusive for people who are LGBTQ is such a big first step, and I think that should be the case, even if nobody has come out. It is so important to know that you can come out and that you are accepted for that part of your identity, even if it’s not necessarily directly related to your work. Your sexual orientation can, for a lot of people, feel like a very private, inherent part of who you are. However, for me, it certainly is something that is expressed in my lifestyle and my social life and also the person who might pop up in the background of a Zoom call and that kind of stuff. To know that just on that basic, simple level, it is fine, feels huge to me. It means so much when people have these types of inclusive conversations with me.For example, my husband’s name is Tod, and people at work will ask ‘how is Tod doing’. Anyone that has met him or knows him will brings him up in conversation. I cherish that so much that he is part of general small talk, and it might seem small, but it leaves a big impact. I also want to mention that some people are questioning or in the early part of their journey, and you might not know it when talking to them on a Zoom call, or whatnot. It isn’t just those who are out who need support, and everyone can benefit from a supportive, inclusive environment at work. Julia: I think that we’re all part of the human experience has so many facets to it. It’s not just LGBTQ, it’s your family, it’s your friends. It’s like things that are so hidden sometimes of like, are you going to have kids? What is that going to look like for them? Where do you live? What’s your religion? And I think whether you identify as part of the LGBTQ community or you’re questioning or you just want to support your friends and family, it’s like we all have so many parts of our lives that go into it. What I wish other people knew is the openness and the questions that you ask mean a lot for the people that you’re talking to. Don’t assume you know someone’s journey or what it looks like. Be mindful of the small things, such as leaving assumptions about gender open ended. For example, if you hear someone mention they are going on a date, don’t immediately make assumptions about the context. Being aware of little things like that can make a big difference for your coworkers or community. We all have so many parts of our journey, and it’s been awesome hearing the different elements that we all have gone through. And there’s so much more that we can’t cover here as well!Diego: I think Buffer is a great organization in terms of being able to bring our whole selves to work. I feel very lucky, privileged and grateful to be able to be myself at work. I think in the past, something that was draining was having to act like when I was in the closet, just having to have one public persona, but my true self was hidden. I think that was bad for my mental health, it hurts and it’s hard. I just wanted to say that we should continue to work towards creating an inclusive environment where people can really bring themselves to work. I think in order to continue getting better, we should look up, not down, and always be leaders in the industry. That means continuing to educate ourselves, especially when it comes to unconscious biases. Ensuring company benefits are inclusive, and being mindful of inclusive conversations.But we can’t stop there. We must think about how we can continue to make the world better and more inclusive. I think we can do that by educating ourselves, having a genuine curiosity for understanding how other people’s lives might be different from your own. Don’t assume that the way you look at life is necessarily the way someone else looks at life. Katie: I’ve never felt more comfortable being out, being transparent and authentic than I have at Buffer, and that’s a really beautiful thing. If your company hasn’t created a safe place for LGBTQ teammates to bring their whole selves to work, start there. Then, you can take it further and dig into unconscious bias and how that plays into the success of LGBTQ employees, to ensure they’re not having to work harder to achieve the same success as others. I also want to mention that it is important to be aware of how intersectionality and our multiple identities can have compounding effects. Intersectionality shows us that social identities work on multiple levels, resulting in unique experiences, opportunities, and barriers for each person. Personally, I’m a disabled queer woman, and those identities can impact me both collectively and individually, in different ways at different times. You can’t always assume someone’s identities just by looking at them, especially over Zoom, so it’s important to create a safe space for authenticity, while becoming aware of the places where we hold power, and where we lack power, which can help us address bias more easily.Thank you for being open to hearing more about our experiences in the LGBTQ community. If you are someone who is queer or questioning, and would like support, please feel free to reach out to any one of us via Twitter. – Dave, Julia, Diego, and Katie

Job vacancies can cost a company an average of $500 per day.

Companies can save money, improve the quality of their hires, eliminate communication gaps, and increase accountability during the recruitment process by implementing a full-cycle recruitment strategy.

The full-cycle recruitment process is managed by a single full-cycle recruiter or full-cycle recruiting agency.
Full-Cycle Recruiting Process

The full-cycle recruiting process includes six stages: preparing, sourcing, screening, selecting, hiring, and onboarding.
Preparing
The first stage of the full-cycle recruiting process is the preparing stage. A recruiter will begin this stage by working with a hiring manager to identify a hiring need and create a persona — a fictionalized profile of your company’s ideal candidate.
During the next step of the preparing stage, the recruiter and hiring manager will determine how much compensation a candidate will be offered. This information will be used to create a job posting that includes an overview of the role, responsibilities, salary range, benefits, and information about the company.
Sourcing
After creating a persona and job posting, a recruiter will use word-of-mouth, internal recruiting, employee referrals, social media, job boards, or career websites such as LinkedIn and Glassdoor to find jobseekers that fit the ideal candidate persona.
Screening
After finding potential candidates, a recruiter will carefully review applicants’ resumes and cover letters with the help of HR software. Then, the recruiter will perform a phone screen or on-demand interview.
For most talent acquisition leaders, resume screening is the most time-consuming and challenging part of recruitment.
Selecting
After screening and shortlisting candidates, the recruiter will determine which candidate is the best fit for the role by conducting face-to-face or virtual interviews.
A recruiter will ask candidates in-depth questions to learn more about their professional background and qualifications during a face-to-face interview. The recruiter may also have candidates complete writing assignments or a series of tasks to prove they are a good choice for the position.
Once the recruiter selects the best candidate, they will check the candidate’s references or order a background check.
Hiring
The hiring stage is the most important of the process.
After choosing the best candidate for the role, the recruiter will contact the candidate with an official job offer and may have to negotiate the terms of the offer. The candidate may feel more comfortable receiving a job offer from the full-cycle recruiter rather than the hiring manager because the recruiter has been the candidate’s primary contact throughout the hiring process.
Onboarding
The final stage of the full-cycle recruiting process is the onboarding stage. During the onboarding stage of the process, a hire is integrated into the company. The full-cycle recruiter will familiarize the new hire with the company culture and team members using a welcoming orientation or introductory path.
1. Identify the ideal candidate for the role.
A candidate persona is a description of your ideal applicant. Creating a candidate persona will help your recruiter choose the best applicant for the role by honing in on the criteria that your ideal candidate should meet.
To create a persona, start by asking yourself questions about your ideal candidate to identify their skills, qualifications, experience, education, and background. For example, what industry do they currently work in? Do they hold the role that you are hiring for? What are their professional goals? What work environment do they thrive in?
Once you have answered the questions, interview managers at your business who would oversee your ideal candidate and ask about the skills that would help employees thrive in the role. Use the managers’ recommendations to help craft your ideal candidate’s persona.
2. Find potential candidates.
Create advertisements that target jobseekers who fit your ideal candidate persona. Post the advertisements to social media websites and job boards such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Glassdoor to reach potential candidates searching for new positions.
You can also use promotions and transfers to recruit existing employees who may qualify for the position. Internal recruiting can help your company reduce onboarding time, boost morale, and save time and money.
3. Review candidates’ resumes and cover letters.
Use applicant tracking software (ATS) to scan applicants’ resumes and cover letters for criteria that matches your ideal candidate persona, such as education, years of experience, and previous job titles.
If you are reviewing resumes and cover letters manually, scan each resume for keywords that match the open position. Next, separate them into 3 categories: resumes that do not meet the criteria for the position, resumes that meet some of the criteria, and resumes that meet all of the criteria. Double-check the resumes in each category.
Place the candidates that are closest to your company’s ideal candidate persona on a shortlist.
4. Conduct face-to-face or virtual interviews with shortlisted candidates.
Interviewing shortlisted candidates can help you find the best fit for the job. By interviewing candidates, you can learn more about their experiences and qualifications, their potential to fit into your company culture, and their soft skills, such as how they perform under pressure.
Conducting standardized interviews can also help you view candidates objectively and prevent bias in the hiring process.
5. Contact the best candidate with an official job offer.
After conducting interviews, extend an official job offer to the best candidate. Indeed recommends contacting the candidate by phone the same day as their final interview or within one day of making your decision.
Benefits of Full-Cycle Recruiting
Full-cycle recruiting improves the efficiency of the hiring process in five key ways:
Faster Hiring
The full-cycle recruiting process reduces time-to-hire, making the recruitment process more efficient. Time-to-hire is a measure of the time between when a candidate enters the pipeline and when they are officially hired. A shortened time-to-hire reduces the risk of a company losing out on highly qualified candidates that may be simultaneously interviewing at other companies.
Streamlined Strategy
Using a full-cycle recruiting strategy streamlines the recruitment process. It eliminates delays caused by communication gaps because the process is handled by a single recruiter or agency that can construct a simple strategy and follow it through to the end.
Improved Quality of Hire
Quality of hire measures the value a new hire contributes to a company’s overall success. Improving the quality of hire increases employee engagement, improves job satisfaction and productivity levels, and decreases turnover costs.
A full-cycle recruiter implements a more personalized and thorough process than a traditional recruiter. As a result, full-cycle recruiting improves the quality of hire by precisely identifying the best candidate for a position.
Increased Accountability
Because one person manages the entire full-cycle recruiting process, all of the successes and failures of the process are their responsibility. The recruiter benefits from this responsibility because they can’t lose a candidate due to someone else’s mistakes.
Improved Communication
In full-cycle recruiting, candidates remain in communication with a single person throughout the hiring process. Therefore, the process alleviates any possible concerns a candidate may have about delays caused by miscommunication between hiring personnel.
Full-Cycle Recruiting Process Results
A well-executed full-cycle recruiting process will result in an employee who feels prepared on their first day. This is all thanks to a full-cycle recruiter who guided them through the recruitment process, maintained communication, and provided necessary information about the job position and the company.

Travel has always been a fundamental part of my life. A love for not only destinations, but for the journey to reach them, is what led me to found my company, SteamLine Luggage. So during the pandemic, being stuck at home while still promoting travel inspiration to my customers felt surreal.  In October of 2021, my husband Mark and I decided to pack up our bags and embark on a year-long digital nomad journey while each running our respective businesses (he owns Good Mask Company). Oh, and with our four young kids, all under the age of eight. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Banks (@steamlinewithsara)
Me with my husband Mark and sons Milo (8), Reuben (6), Benji (5), and Felix (2) in Lefkáda, Greece.We’ve gotten to spend the past nine months living it up in Lefkada (an island in Greece), Corfu, Mauritius (an island in Africa), and now Bali. Our businesses continue to thrive, and we haven’t completely drained our bank accounts. In fact, now that we’ve seen how well it’s working out, we may even keep at it longer. If it’s doable for us, I think it’s doable for everybody. Here’s a rundown of how we make it work, and the ways I’ve found this experience is even beneficial for my business.What It Takes to Make a Year-Long Trip HappenThe most frequent question I get asked is how we’re pulling this off. Here’s a quick breakdown of the cost and logistical juggling it takes to be a digital nomad, business owner, and parent to boot:The Expenses: What it Cost for My Family of 6 to Travel for a YearAccommodation: €3,500/month ($3,700)Childcare: €2,500/month ($2,650)Other Living Expenses: €2,000/month ($2,100)Total: €8,000/month ($8,450)When my husband and I were mapping out the budget for this journey, we had a theory that we could travel the world for the exact same cost as living in our home in Dublin for the year. We figured that our €3,500/month ($3,700) in rent would go toward Airbnbs, our €2,500/month ($2,650) in childcare costs would go toward flights, and all other living expenses would be the same, if not cheaper, in other parts of the world. In general, this turned out to be true, even considering how travel costs have increased in recent months. Airbnbs in the countries we’ve visited are quite affordable, and we’ve been able to strike even better deals by planning to stay for a month or longer and asking hosts for extended stay discounts. Because we aren’t jet setting to a new place every other week, flight costs have remained reasonable (though we’re actively re-budgeting as flight prices skyrocket), and we’re able to search for tickets with flexible dates and (even flexible destinations) to manage those costs. And everything else, from food to activities for the kids to hiring the occasional caregiver to watch over them, has been much cheaper than it was in Dublin.We have made the intentional decision to stretch our budget a bit to get the absolute most out of this experience. For instance, we found that spending an additional €500/month ($530) on Airbnbs would get us homes that were far and away better. Our current place in Bali, for instance, is a massive property with space for us to spread out, a lush garden and swimming pool for the boys to play in, and a private chef and housekeeper to help us out. We’re not generally lavish people, but paying a little more for these extras has made the experience of traveling with the family (and finding peace and quiet to work) much easier. We also try not to be too stingy with our budget for experiences, since we want our family to soak up everything possible. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Banks (@steamlinewithsara)
Our house in Mauritius had two pools and a beach—not a bad office view.Ultimately, we’re spending about €8,000 ($8,450) a month for our family of six to spend time in some of the most beautiful places around the world, which is a tiny bit less than our cost of living in Dublin. Of course, it helped from a budget perspective that we were coming from one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in and generally planning to travel to lower-cost destinations. Your mileage may vary depending on where you currently live and where you’re hoping to go.The Logistics: How a Family of 6 Juggles Work, Life, and SchoolTraveling while running a business is definitely a juggling act, especially when you add children to the mix. My husband and I aren’t just business owners; we’re digital nomads who need to travel plan, parents who need to homeschool and entertain our kids, and travelers who want to enjoy the places we’re in. Staying in one place longer has helped us manage the logistics of all of these tasks. We’re not having to constantly spend time and energy booking our next thing, and we’re able to settle into a bit of a routine, find people we trust to help us with the kids, and not feel like we have to rush to do everything a place has to offer all at once.The pandemic also gave us a crash course in the skills that would help us make doing all of this possible. Not only are we more used to having the kids underfoot (although we had a nanny at home), my team was already accustomed to working remotely.But, still, succeeding at running a business while traveling requires some scheduling flexibility. My days typically look like this:7:30 am: The kids swim or exercise before school.8am-12pm: The kids homeschool. Depending on our workloads, either my husband or I will look over them while the other has a few hours of focused work.12pm-2pm: Our youngest naps, the other kids have quiet time for art projects or creative play, and my husband and I get some work done.2pm-6pm: The kids may go off to a club activity or go to the beach with a caregiver, giving us a little more work time, or we may decide to do a family activity and either my husband and I watch over them so the other can have a few hours of focused work.6pm on: Right now, all of our meetings and calls are conducted at this time and then after the kids are asleep (which happen to be good times to coordinate calls with people on the other side of the world). I don’t love taking calls after 9pm, but I make it work to foster this lifestyle.Throughout the day: I collaborate with my team of 10 employees and contractors via WhatsApp, and they know they can reach out to me at any time—but they also know I trust them to make decisions without me.I still get all the work done I need to to keep my business moving forward, but rather than knowing I can sit down and get it done in a six-hour stint, it’s a bit more ad hoc. Even if you don’t have kids, it’s nice to have this kind of flexibility to be able to go on adventures during the day and to manage working across different time zones. And anytime I’m struggling through working at an odd hour, I remind myself that I am in [insert amazing country here].What Long-Term Travel Has Given Me and My BusinessSometimes it’s hard when people only ask about the specifics of how we make this work, because I instead want to gush about all the positive things the experience of traveling has given me. There are the very obvious personal benefits of getting to see the world, spend quality time with my family, and give my kids uniquely enriching experiences. But I’ve also gained so much as an entrepreneur and leader.What I’ve Learned as an Entrepreneur From TravelFor one, I’ve found it so much easier to problem solve and think creatively while I’m abroad, because my perceptions and senses are heightened by new things, people, and experiences  every day. I was able to bring some of my team to Mauritius for a weeklong retreat, and we saw this expanded creativity across the company. In fact, we’re implementing several exciting projects today that started as ideas while all experiencing a new environment together.Getting the SteamLine team together in Mauritius was a great way to relax and get creative together.I also think this trip has helped me step back and gain a bird’s-eye view of the business. Being in the weeds can be dangerous for an entrepreneur, and when I’m at home, it’s easy to obsess over the small stuff or get too hands-on with certain projects. Being so far away has helped me step back and understand what’s really important and where I’m really needed.How My Business Has Done During a Year of TravelSo, how has all of this translated to my business’ bottom line? So far, our sales are up 63 percent over last year. And while some of this is a natural spike after the pandemic, our trip has also helped. Part of our goal this year was to share what we are doing and why with others, and we’ve already done six press interviews within the first few months of travel, which have brought increased awareness to SteamLine. I’ve also fostered some significant sales leads in each place I’ve been.Finally, I’ve also met new potential creative partners along the way—people I would have never encountered in my day-to-day life in Dublin, but who have fostered ideas that I hope to bring to life in future collections.Ultimately, my best advice for any business owner considering digital nomading is to just do it. The fears before leaving are so great, but the rewards of doing something like this are so high that any challenges you face really start to feel small.
