Hiring for Relevance and Quirkiness
The speaker values hiring individuals who are a few years ahead in experience as they bring recent relevance and valuable solutions to the table. They express skepticism towards hiring from long-established companies and prefer candidates who have dealt with challenges similar to the ones being faced. The speaker admits to always having concerns when hiring and acknowledges that red flags often materialize. They discuss the importance of being genuine, albeit toning down certain traits, and how hiring similar people can be a pitfall. The concern of balancing quirkiness with professionalism in hiring is also addressed, highlighting the inevitability of red flags and the significance of recognizing both strengths and weaknesses in potential hires.
