Hazards of Hiring
@Corporate Level• Hire After the Need, Not Before• Hiring Is All About Probabilities• Get a Variety of Opinion• Hire Developers , Not Programmers• Education is good
– (The “very best” people never stop learning)– But too much is a Yellow Light
• Hire the Very Best (Pull vs. Push Strategy)

My philosophy on Hiring
“I want to build the most effective team that can build. When I hire another person for my team, my goal is not merely to make the team larger. And each person I hire should be chosen to make my team better in some specific way . I am not looking for someone as talented as me. Rather , I am looking for someone who is more talented than me, at least in one significant way.”
