Aaron Durand — San Francisco
Month: November 2013
How does a company get great at hiring? What are best practices? We’re hiring so many so quickly (175 going on 300) and I don’t want us to look back with any regrets.
Few thoughts
-prioritize
-pay close attention to culture
-don’t settle
-make sure management is capable and/or trained
-founder/ceo should meet all new hires (preferably before the hire is made)
-treasure diversity
-respect your candidates. pay attention to follow up process.
-invest in the post hire process (onboarding, reviews etc)
-acknowledge mistakes
Very few companies get to do this. So enjoy the ride!

Better
Thanks to many of you that reached out after reading #7. Just to let you know, things are better. Not completely back to normalcy but much better. xoxo.
I’m an eternal optimist, but I’m a more realistic optimist than I used to be.

Most importantly, Bitcoin offers an open API to create secure, scriptable e-cash transactions. Just as the web democratized publishing and development, Bitcoin can democratize building new financial services.

I’m so excited about what’s possible with Bitcoin.
