@gregyoung Yes .
Though history matters, imho. There's a lot in that old version I show to dispell misconceptions people have because of other old articles they use as reference.
some of my notes from the Art of Hiring event earlier today:
@rabois
- don't hire anyone over the age of 30
- recruiters are probably ineffective but still important b/c they drive hiring momentum
- it takes 3-30 mins to evaluate someone (probably 3 though)
- undiscovered talent is mispriced. interns can be MVPs on teams
- people who positively manipulate the world around them are great hires
@bchesky
- goal is to have smallest team possible (i.e. be the Navy SEALs... not the Navy)
- be careful of B players. The old saying "A players hire A players B players hire C players" should go like "A players hire A players....and B players hire LOTS of C players b/c they are so bad"
- be in the details. so much so that people complain. and then be in even more details.
- when hiring someone, they are guilty until proven innocent. someone should be selling their case on why to join.
@eglyman
- looks for "aliens" and/or exceptional candidates with little competition
- ranks candidates "strong no, no, yes, strong yes". won't hire people who have all yeses.
- recommended to read great books on this like: Wooden on Leadership, Insanely Simple: The Obsession That Drives Apple's Success, High Output Management, and The Score Takes Care of Itself
@mike_sheb
- be a broken record. constantly repeat why you are here (mission, goals, etc.)
- sweat the small stuff
- ask candidates if they are in the phase of their lives where they can work like an olympian to help screen people out.
OH WOW!! I sincerely don't know where to start with this!!
1. The illegal stuff?
2. The misogynistic stuff?
3. The downright toxic stuff?
4. The tech-bro, unpaid grind stuff?
