apologies, not sure why this wasn’t working - here you are for Jared Grey

True, but both of my candidates because they are fantastic human beings, have offered to forego their severance package (valued at $250k) if elected and more, finding great people and people who have Sushi’s best interests at heart as well as able to deliver is where we excel, and I think this is clear from their unwaivering commitment to the cause shown here - so whilst I appreciate our fee can seem like it’s an extra expense, we’re actually bring more mutual benefit to the DAO but putting great people who can offer things like this because their hearts are in the right place - so the net benefit is actually +$100k to Sushi when you take account of the candidates foregoing of the severance package and our fee
Original thread linked here
While I agree they’re both excellent candidates and am not trying to fault them. Optimistically no Head Chef candidate would really be exercising the severance package in the first place. I think most would agree that the likelihood that the right candidate for the role would utilize the severance package would be improbable. I think it is a far stretch to call this a net gain of 100k for Sushi’s coffers.
I think it is reasonable to expect that this additional cost is indicated in Snapshots since it goes above the $500k voted on and not all voters regularly frequent all forum posts. That was why I suggested it.

Interesting proposal, but seems to late
Jared and I have both agreed to forego the severance package and I have suggested a very simple package: base pay and token award (already voted on) and nothing more. I would hope the other three candidates will agree so you will not need a vote. The upside for all is a rising token price which I believe I can deliver by focussing on Sushi’s key mission - being the best AMM.

This feels strange - introducing a recruiter’s fee, late in the process after introducing 2/5 of the qualified candidates. I do not have an issue with using a recruiter, would have wished it was more transparent.
Recruiting can be good and leads to strong candidates - but it is expensive
It seems you spoke with the Sushi team before introducing these two candidates.
What is next? Are we as token-holders required to vote on this fee? Is the fee automatically deducted?
Seems harmful to introduce this information this late, especially as they are still up for consideration.
If the decision is to either go with the two that will cost the DAO an extra 30% of the salary ($150k), or the other three that don’t, the choice feels pretty obvious.

Hey All,
An update to our proposal, we’re delighted that our candidate Jared Grey was selected. We’ve been asked to update our proposal by @Neiltbe and @Tangle and now the matter of our remuneration is to be discussed.
We’ll be joining an AMA next week where we’ll introduce ourselves, and talk about the relationship moving forward between CB Recruitment and Sushi with our founder David Lamb who will be taking part.
We have some ideas about what our remuneration package should look like, equally we’re keen to engage with the community, so that whatever is decided is something we can all agree upon.
Our regular fee for an assignment of this magnitude would be $150k paid in USDC. However, as a gesture of good faith, we are prepared to reduce our fee to $100k and propose the following pay structures;
-$50k USDC + $50k Sushi Tokens paid immediately after a DAO vote
OR
-$50k USDC paid immediately after a DAO Vote + $50k Sushi Tokens (at today’s price) paid 1 year after @jaredgrey start date (assuming he is still in post)
OR
-$50k USDC paid immediately + $50k USDC paid 1 year after @jaredgrey start date assuming he’s still in post
To remind the community, Jared has already returned the potential severance package to the sushi treasury, and so Jared’s success means success for everyone in the community, while if for any reason he is unsuccessful, the treasury has made a significant saving.
We are delighted to have been able to assist with the Head Chef recruitment process, and after such a unanimous choice (11m/15m) we are prepared to structure our deal based on the success of Jared over the next calendar year. Moving forward, we are keen to continue to add value to Sushi’s recruitment process by introducing industry leaders and hope that this is the first introduction of a long and fruitful relationship.
Kind regards
CB Recruitment

I appreciate your willingness to reduce your fee. However, I do take pause on providing any fee because learning of the talent finders fee was provided to the DAO so late. Most of us had no idea your team had provided two candidates until well into the nomination process.
It doesn’t feel appropriate or ethical to request fees as some form of “trojan horse” right before an election took place. Certainly, I’d be more than happy to consider your finders’ fee for any forthcoming talent.
As a matter of business, if I were the one operating this business, I’d say this feels like we didn’t have adequate notice to make a decision as to whether we’d be compensating a broker.
With that said, references to a “gesture of good faith” falls flat for me. The good faith would have been being transparent from the beginning of the process. In the same vein, it appears you are not prepared to take no compensation, which puts the community in a bad position. Whereas, I expect we’d like to be a community of ethical business practices, this puts us in a position of having to pay a fee of which we had limited to no prior knowledge.

well if you want to start your own from scratch i will pitch in, tbh sushi at present looks slightly better than shiba. sushi have given things but i dont know if anyone uses them. so many NDA and patents and IP all of which DO NOT BELONG IN FREE INTERNET. i would like to vote on a proposal for a dao that bars people that sign stupid ndas from leadership roles. all of which i have described have done nothing to advance anything but fuel envy and greed. i wonder how much hookers and cocaine was had form the backs of shiba purchasers lol
Thanks for coming along today everyone, we really appreciate the opportunity to speak on our proposal and look forward to interacting with the community to move forward over the next week before we raise the proposal formally with the team
Hey guys, thanks again. Here to answer any questions you might have, we’re keen to hear any thoughts and get feedback on our existing proposal.
ahahahahah this is so sociopathic it’s great i’m sorry two people said you could have an extra fee i’m not following lol
i hope jared pays you or whatever xo
Thanks for your reply @Kakumei, and your support
We welcome any proposal or way of structuring our fee that the community would like to suggest, and genuinely want the community to be involved in making suggestions around our proposed remuneration, Jared won’t get to decide, the community will in a snapshot vote.
We’re here and on TG on @lambmaster and @jaywongcb if anyone wants to reach out, and will reply to any questions here as soon as we can - and welcome any advice/recommendations on how the community would like to see our proposal structured in the upcoming snapshot.
We’ll move ahead to finalising different options for the snapshot based on what we’ve already presented here above by the end of the week if there are no further questions or recommendations from the community here 
lol sociopathy intensifies. yes, that was definitely support from me you were receiving.
my suggestion around your proposed renumeration is that you don’t get anything from Sushi, no-one cares what you think you’re owed, i’m sorry if neil offered you some terms around a deal using Sushi’s money but that’s not really how it works (He kinda keeps making deals with people that they can use Sushi but they always fall through on him - maybe he can pay you out of his pocket) and i presume Jared is pretty embarrassed to be associated with you guys - but i honestly don’t know
Hi Kakumei, it’s a shame you weren’t on the AMA last week, there are some assumptions in your post (that Neil has offered us something for example) that are incorrect and if you had been there, you’d be aware of the good working relationship between CBR, Neil, Jared and the other people we have engaged with at Sushi both during and after the CEO search.
What we proposed on the AMA was this was the beginning of a wider partnership that gives Sushi access to the top talent on the market via our network. As Jared himself said, it’s not an unusual business model that we have proposed, and we would like to formalise this so that in the future we are able to enter candidates into the process, and the community be explicitly aware of the costs of doing so. As Jared also said, he would have been unaware of the process if it hadn’t been for us, and 83% of the Sushi community wouldn’t have had the chance to vote for the person that they believe is the best candidate. Although you are entitled to your opinion, the sheer volume of support for Jared is evidence that we have added more than the zero value you have suggested in your post.
Ideally we would have been aware of the CEO hiring process from the start, but we weren’t (this was also covered in the AMA). By coming to an agreement here we can ensure that we are involved from the start in any future process and continue to serve the Sushi community as best as possible, within the existing parameters of the DAO.
don’t care + didn’t read + salmon nigiri
will summarize anyway;
no fee for the CEO hunt
we do the same thing with any recruitment agency as we did when the former prime minister of Australia got told he could be head chef due to a previously developed working relationship - rug any backroom agreement and open the process up to anyone to vie for the contract (great idea Kakumei!)
tangled spider web quote/metaphor
I’ll put you down as undecided.
Hey builders, PM me if anyone wants to add his quote
Hi @DAOTimes, disappointed you didn’t reach out to me or anyone at Sushi for a quote, and would appreciate if you could alter the headline of this article. It is sensationalist and inaccurate, and does you no favours as a journalist.
