Resumes Are Worthless

Resumes Are Worthless

By Adron Hall on August 19, 2011

Ok, so a question came up recently about hiring people for software development roles. In answering that, the group discussing this started talking about resumes.

Whom Should You Hire at a Startup? (Attitude Over Aptitude)

Whom Should You Hire at a Startup? (Attitude Over Aptitude)

By Mark Suster on March 17, 2011

  Startups. We know the mantra: Team matters. Is this philosophy exaggerated? Overrated? Cliché? No. Team is the only thing that matters. Whatever you’re working on now, the half-life of innovation is so rapid now that your product will soon be out-of-date. Your existence is irrelevant unless you continue rapid innovation. Your ability to keep […]

Turn about is not fair play on the broken hiring process

By Dan Morrill on August 18, 2010

We have all heard about the problems with finding the right employee for the jobs you are trying to fill. Usually from my vantage point as a hiring manager my biggest problems have been about resumes that did not make sense for the position being filled. It is very hard to go from an AA […]

Never Hire Job Hoppers.  Never.  They Make Terrible Employees

Never Hire Job Hoppers. Never. They Make Terrible Employees

This is part of my startup advice series.  This post isn’t going to be popular.  I’m sure of that.  That’s OK.  It’s still important advice for startup founders and something that I’m passionate about.  And I care more about the debate than trying to be popular.  And it’s important because it’s true. I never hire […]
