She/her/ella | For DEI & Talent thoughts, find me me at @deibydani | Here, I just geek out, a lot! |




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.

Offices lead to greater connection, inspiration, community, productivity, and even wellbeing.





*Tip for women. Most of us men really want to help but don’t know how. Give us lists! Give us list items weekly we can take off your plate & we love to help! Guys, ask her what can I take off your plate today? The key is solid communication around this. We can’t READ MINDS.
