ME DINO, GOOD AT HIRE.

BECAUSE ME TELL EVERYONE EXACTLY WHAT ME PAY THEM.

KEEP IT SECRET AT BEST MEAN MISS GOOD CANDIDATES AND MAYBE TRICK SOMEONE INTO LOW OFFER SO THEY DUMP YOUR TRASH COMPANY IN 3 MONTHS FOR SOMETHING BETTER.

IF BEST POSSIBLE RESULT OF DO SOMETHING IS HUGE WASTE OF TIME WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS MAYBE YOU JUST STUPID.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU KEEP DOING IT.

WHAT CONSEQUENCE OF LIST SALARY FOR JOB?

NO WASTE TIME ON WRONG CANDIDATE.

OH, AND ANYONE YOU SCREWING WITH LOW PAY FIND OUT.

PRO TIP: SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM.

THAT CORE OF ISSUE.

SOME HUMANS WILL BURN COMPANY TO THE GROUND FOR CHANCE TO CHEAT JUST ONE MORE EMPLOYEE.

WORK FOR SOMEONE BETTER.

P.S. GLASSDOOR PRETTY GOOD SITE. HAS SALARIES YOU THINK YOU HIDING.

SO HIDE SALARY NOT JUST DUMB, IT ALSO NOT WORK AND TELL EVERYONE YOU STUPID TOO.

ALSO, NO STUPID BRAIN TEASER QUESTIONS.

IT SIGNAL PERSON INTERVIEWING SHOULD LEAVE BEFORE THE HOWLING VOID WHERE YOUR COMPETENCE SHOULD BE INFECT THEM.

SO, HOW HIRE RIGHT?

ME EXPLAIN HOW TO DO DINO WAY!

IT BEST WAY OF ALL.

OR ELSE.

1. LIST TITLE, BASE SKILLS, SALARY. NO GET TOO SPECIFIC ON SKILLS.

ASK FOR GREAT DEV/UX/QA/SALES/PR/ETC.

NOT “X YEARS OF Y TOOL NOT EVERYONE USE.” IT IRRELEVANT AND DUMB.

2. IGNORE PAST TITLES. ONLY THING THAT MATTER SKILLS, PERSONALITY.

RESUME TERRIBLE PROOF OF EITHER.

DITTO YEARS.

2 YEARS OF AWESOME > 10 OF MEDIOCRE.

3. TEST TEST TEST.

SET UP AUTOMATED SCREENING.

THEN STANDARDIZED PHONE QUESTIONS.

THEN STANDARDIZED IN PERSON.

EACH STEP MOST EFFECTIVE SMALLEST TEST TO FILTER FOR BEST MATCH.

4. METRICS METRICS METRICS.

STANDARDIZE PROCESS TO COLLECT DATA.

ITERATE PROCESS.

JUST LIKE WITH STARTUP.

5. PERSONALITY.

NO HIDE!

TELL WHAT COMPANY STAND FOR, WHAT DO! CHALLENGE CANDIDATES!

VERY FAST WAY TO FIND IF FIT.

UNLESS STAND FOR NOTHING.

THEN YOU TERRIBLE AND DESERVE TO FAIL.

6. DO IT FOR THEM,

THIS SECRET SAUCE. SWORD OF POWER. THE MATRIX OF AWESOMENESS.

THEY LEAVE INTERVIEW SMARTER, HAPPIER, AND LIKING YOU.

JUST LIKE EVERY DAY IF THEY WORK FOR YOU.

CANDIDATE SHOULD TELL FRIENDS TO APPLY EVEN IF YOU NOT HIRE THEM, OR YOU DOING IT WRONG.

NOT BECAUSE PAY OR “OPPORTUNITY.”

BECAUSE INTERVIEW SHOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE, AND YOU ARE AWESOME.

OK, THAT ENOUGH.

TIME FOR MORE BEER.

NOW ME ALL FIRED UP.

TIME FOR NEW BOOK OR SUBSPACE OR SOMETHING ABOUT HOW TO STARTUP RIGHT.

OLD ONES HERE, ME ASSUME STILL WORK.
