From Almost Perfect:
Alan continued to teach at BYU, so he was in a perfect position to recruit BYU's best computer science students. He was a tough grader, and anyone getting an A in one of his classes was a candidate for a job offer. When Alan found students with exceptional talent, he and Bruce would offer them part- time jobs and put them to work on one of the programming projects. By the time they graduated, their work had helped the company grow to the point where we could afford to offer them good salaries. Eventually we used Alan's old grade sheets to search for good programmers who had already graduated.
