Quotes

“When you’re looking at your hiring process, look at it as a two-sided coin where you really want to give as much control [as possible] to the applicant.”

“I think in the future we’ll have a life concierge that is an AI that knows us more intimately than we know ourselves and can proactively go out and find opportunities that we’re uniquely suited for. ”
