This talk suggests: > Never compromise on quality (it will kill culture and drive away the best) > Use science, structured interviews (to kill bias) > Give them a (bigger) reason to join (meaning) my further notes: 1) set a high standard (don't compromise, stay the course) 2) remove hiring managers from the hiring decisions (eliminate critical bias) 3) Use Assessment (Interviews aren't reliable ) 4) Job criteria: Cognitive Ability (problem solver, curious) , Leadership, Culture Fit, Role-related knowledge (a little confusing because he said "interviews are unreliable") 5) Structured interviews (same for everyone) -- hypotheticals/situational & behavioral 6) How you can Convince them to join: comes down to MEANING in Life (then the sales pitch for Google started and they almost lost me) 7) Find out how to meet your target market and creatively (around 28:00) <Job v. Career v. Calling> --> 1/3 see it as a calling <4X results if you can find a way to inspire meaning in people's work>

Hiring manager - avoid bias -> tend to hire friends, nephew, and important client's child.

High quality people - how to assess people? Get feedbacks - interview people very well - perform very well

Average - 

Googleyness - bring something new to the organization 

Intellectual humility 

People bring new things to us 

Figure out the rest - you have those three things 

Generalist - not specialist 

Clear standards - some easy grader, tough grader - Love people, every person looks great ...

Structure interviews - Every candidate gets same algorithms similar 

quality response - 

Give candidates the meaning to join 

  1. Set a high bar for quality and never compromise
  2. Assess candidates objectively ... science FTW
  3. Give candidates a reason to join
