Hiring great people. You are wasting your warm intros. Startup exercise: what can’t be solved with money?
One “must” for this week
Why hiring for curiosity beats hiring for just experience and skills.
In a recent post, Mike Fisher argues that hiring great people isn’t just about checking off boxes for experience and skills.
Curiosity isn’t just a trait of great leaders and engineers
Curiosity is a fundamental driver of personal and professional growth.
The most successful individuals are those who continuously seek to learn, adapt, and challenge their own assumptions.
So, the best hires are the ones who don’t settle for “how things have always been done” but instead seek to explore new possibilities.
It’s about identifying those who demonstrate curiosity, the willingness to ask, learn, and challenge.

I’ve been hiring based on experience first. Followed by providing a hypothetical problem during the interview and observe their response. Perhaps that’s my way of sussing out their creative problem solving skills and curiosity.
