Good questions. 1. So, once someone was "in" (as in, they got to interview stage), we didn't consider any of these factors. Everything after getting into the interview process was purely about interview performance. As it happened, people we made offers to tended to have less typos than people we didn't. 2. Keep in mind that these action words were words that showed up a lot on resumes of people we made offers to and not a lot on resumes of people we didn't make offers to. We didn't look for those words, and again, as with the previous point, once someone was in the interview process, how they worded things on their resume wasn't a factor. This is something I observed when counting word frequencies after the fact. 3. It's not about company size. I looked at where people who were applying to TrialPay were coming from, and of those companies, I chose the ones that are known for having a high hiring bar independent of company size. In addition to some of the big guys, Y Combinator companies were also on the list.
