I hire for attitude and aptitude.

If you have a great attitude and you're able to learn then you will be amazing on my team.

It's impossible to say "hiring only the best". Because where are these "only the best" people? I've been smashing keyboards for 35 years, does that make me "only the best". Nope.

What makes an amazing team is the ability to learn, adapt and solve real world problems at scale together.

Not "only the best".




Most of the time, hiring the best means hiring the best you interviewed. The phrase gets over used because it makes the hiring managers look good. If everyone is hiring the best then who is left?
