It is about hiring people who add to your culture while also being able to thrive inside it.

Let’s get one thing straight: screening questions aren’t obstacles. They’re a tool for alignment.

Attention to detail doesn’t stop once you’ve landed an interview, and it isn’t about perfection.

That’s the paradox: the less you focus on performing, and the more you focus on listening, the more you stand out.

Hiring is human. And humans don’t operate on spreadsheets. They operate on rhythm, availability, motivation, and life.

If you’re a founder, a hiring manager, or working in people ops, here’s my message: don’t wait for the industry to change.
