I’m not quite sure what’s the takeaway here:
‘One conversation that stuck with me: I was telling Kevin how my two lead investors had both interviewed a key product hire for the company. One was positive and one was in the middle. Kevin said to always be “strong yes” or “strong no” if I could help it. I still hire according to this philosophy today.‘
Is the idea that you should ask for strictly binary yes/no feedback from interviewers, and only move forward if there’s a “strong yes” consensus from this process?
- _puk 11mo agoAs it was put to me over the years: Have you ever regretted hiring someone who you were 100% sure on? Have you ever regretted hiring someone you weren't 100% sure on? Definitely or no, it's that binary sometimes.
