This blog post is doesn't quantify why they have been able to recruit well written by non-employee fan of Stripe. It is a puff piece that's fun to read, sort of like the content you'd read in People Magazine. For example, the author provides a chart the breaks down like this: 1) we hire mostlty through referrals, which includes intense stalking 2) we've had reasonable luck w/ people who approach us 3) most people we contact via LinkedIn don't get back to us 4) once we hired someone through a recruiter Points one through four are unique to Stripe. If they were an unsexy company in the boonies, point one would be "we hire mostly through recruiters". Point for would be "we once literally found someone under a rock".
