Hahaha, I briefly dated an HR person for bridgewater. She were very serious about culture first, skill second. They had a very strong bias towards certain Ivy League schools and certain personality traits. She gave me a long lecture when I was staffing up a project, told me looking for specific types of programmers was all wrong, I needed to find what makes great programmers and go out and recruit them even if they had never programmed. Too bad I had 6 months, not 30 years. Edit: Is that the same Holden Karnofsky who was caught astroturfing MetaFilter for GiveWell.com? If so, he is a pretty well known guy, not some rank and file nobody.
