Just had my talk in #SaasOpen conference. Great gathering of SaaS leaders. A lot of bootstrapped companies to learn from. I'll be keynoting the next @SaaSOpen in NYC Sept 5th. See you there: https://lnkd.in/dAxu2cyS Thank you Nathan Latka for inviting me!

Recruitment is the lifeline of a tech company; hire the right talent and you feel invincible working alongside the smartest minds. Hire poorly, and it's a chore to get out of bed and start the day. To ensure we hire the smartest minds, I extensively use the STAR questions. STAR stands for: 1. Situation 2. Task 3. Action 4. Result We take this one step further by asking applicants to complete an assignment where they get a taste of the job or the challenges that they'll likely face. But, when we started giving assignments early on, there was a candidate who mistook this assignment as a sneaky way for us to get actual work done by them. That wasn't true. The reason for giving the assignments is that interviews are inefficient in gauging a person's ability to do the job successfully. An assignment is a way (and a great one IMO) to reduce the false positives, both for the candidate and the organization, ie not getting the 'dream job' is better than getting it and then failing. Long story short, I had the team shift the STAR question in the assignment from our company's product to Typeform. We chose Typeform because it started around the same time, solved a unique problem (handled the applicants' potential concern of free work), and had a minimalist and clean UI, that we aspired for in our product. So today, when I met Joaquim Lecha, CEO of Typeform, I just had to share the story with him about how so many people in our organization have solved situational issues with Typeform, and it's a product that we've closely seen evolving to where it is now. Happy to hear that Typeform is growing fast, wishing both Joaquim Lecha and Typeform growth and success! #SaaSOpen #interview #business #technology
