NOTE

Building a Self-Preserving Talent Ecosystem

Building a high-performing team does not solely rely on being the hottest company in Silicon Valley. It is crucial to develop an ecosystem of talent that maintains a high bar and continually seeks out the best individuals. Hiring based on the company's reputation does not always lead to the most valuable employees. While some functions like sales may benefit from being associated with a hot brand, core technical development often requires a team that remains committed regardless of the company's popularity. Companies like Airbnb reevaluated their growth strategies to focus on talent density instead of continually expanding their teams to achieve financial success.
