We don’t care about where you come from, or if you graduated from the most prestigious college – if you have signs of greatness, grit, and passion we want you on the team. Here’s a peek into the @eightsleep hiring process and the kind of candidates we’re always looking for 👇
First, each candidate goes through 2-3 individual calls with the hiring manager and key stakeholders. If all goes well, they are given a small project that’s relevant for that position. They work on the project for 3-5 days and present back to a panel
After the presentation, Each 8S team member on the panel shares a rating of “pass”, “hire” or “strong hire”. No one gets hired unless there is at least one strong hire rating
We see “strong hires” as individuals who are passionate, relentlessly resourceful, fast learners, data driven, swift movers, team players and bar-raisers. We never compromise when it comes to hiring
At Eight Sleep, we look at #hiring as an enhancer to a system that is already working, not a solution to a problem. Check out our open roles here boards.greenhouse.io/eightsleep

Startups are high performance machines that should focused on quality and efficiency. At @eightsleep we call it “Operational Excellence”. Here are 8 practical tips, some from @rabois, some from Frank Slootman and others from High Output Management👇
1. 🗣 The role of a leader.
Leaders are the energizer bunnies and pacemakers of the organization. They look for and exploit every single opportunity to step up the pace, set a higher bar for quality, and narrow the plane of attack
2. 👩✈️ Lead, don’t manage.
You want to be active versus reactive. Calling yourself a manager implies some level of reactivity. You manage unexpected situations. You lead to ideal outcomes. You want to be driving the vehicle versus a passenger observing
I recently read Amp it Up from Frank Slootman. Here are some of the best takeaways
Frank Lootman is all about hardcore and focused execution. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
There are 5 steps in the Amp It Up model: 1) raise your standars, 2) align your people, 3) sharpen your focus, 4) pick up the pace, and 5) transform your strategy
There are four things that have been a game changer for my performance and health: sleep, fitness, nutrition and stillness. Here are the details👇
1. Sleep. Sleep is the foundational pillar of health. Sleep 7-9h (at least until when @eightsleep technology will help you compress your sleep further). Do this test: sleep 1h longer every day for a week and then DM me how you feel. You will be a super hero by then
2. Fitness. Be active every day. Best workout for your health is HIIT + some weight training. =|>2x/week bring your HR >80% than your max HR for 20m or more. Use Zones app to monitor it
