Make work trials the norm for hiring instead of interviews. From @APompliano: “We had a specific feature that we wanted to build... We just said to [the candidate], hey, you got two weeks, build it... He had some questions and tried to get the lay of the land... But he built it. Dude, I don’t have to question whether you can work here or not... We didn’t waste four weeks to get to that point. We just shipped a new feature.” 📌 Watch our full episode here: https://youtu.be/JXHStIulntQ
"Do you know what it's like to wake up one day and have a trillion dollar company compete with you?" Here's my new episode with @APompliano, who I worked with a decade ago at Facebook. Since then, he's had an incredible career as an investor, creator with 3M+ followers, author, and now founder of Silvia, an AI CFO for independent investors. Pomp and I had a great chat about: → How he built his extraordinary career → How AI startups can build durable moats and compete with the top AI labs → How he hires AI-native talent Some quotes from Pomp: "I went to these big companies to hire people with great resumes. Every one of those people were amazing, but it was like a car wreck." "With financial questions, people are scared of being judged or don't want to come off as dumb. With AI, you can ask anything." "My version of an extraordinary life? Work hard, solve interesting problems, and set an example for my 4 kids." 📌 Watch now: https://youtu.be/JXHStIulntQ Thanks to our sponsor: @RiversidedotFM: All-in-one AI studio for podcasts and video https://creators.riverside.com/PeterYang
