In this episode I talked to Ryan Hawk about how hiring is a lot like hunting. You’re not passively reviewing resumes, you are actively searching for top talent and trying to recruit them to your team. The hard truth is that most people are incompetent, and if you tolerate C-Players, eventually your A-players will leave. I also shared a story from a mentor of mine, Chris Powers, that changed how I make hiring and firing decisions.
