We want to be the best company

4. What I look for

5. What I look for
● Some type of technical validation
● A cultural alignment

6. But

7. Culture is subjective
It's mabo it's the vibe

8. Technical mastery
Is hard to gage in 1 hour - and do we want mastery
anyway?

9. What are the areas we
usually hire for?

10. Areas of tech
● Developer / Coder
● Operator
● Quality driver
● Facilitator of doing work
● Facilitator of defining and obtaining work

11. Some stories
Hunter and the fox

12. Some stories
Slacking off

13. Some stories
Hacking interviewers

14. My thoughts
● We need some common view on how interview
● We need to only to validate when we have not had direct recent exposure
● Quality driver
● Facilitator of doing work
● Facilitator of defining and obtaining work
