A candidate was late for his onsite interview.
As Silicon Valley’s most innovative thought leader and CEO of a fast growing machine cloud learning blockchain startup, I understood completely.
The candidate totaled his car and broke both legs in a horrific car accident 836 miles away from our office.
He was crawling down the freeway with his bare hands because he desperately wanted this job where he could #disrupt the industry.
I personally drove to find him, bought him a Tesla Model X to replace the old car, and gave him the job on the spot.
There are engineers who just want a high TC, and those who want to make the world a better place. You have to nurture the minds of the future and do whatever it takes to make them work for you.
Agree?
When I was a child in 1960's Connecticut I always wondered why there weren't more POC women in online marketing.
