Yeah, talking about how exclusive you are is a bad look. We just try to talk about how interesting the work is and how exciting our initiatives are, that’s way more convincing for the candidates you want anyway.

Right. If your company is wasting time and resources interviewing people only to reject 29 out of every 30 candidates, that's not a problem with the candidates, that's a you problem. Either you're advertising the position wrong or you're evaluating candidates wrong or both.

I mean we do reject 29 out of 30 candidates, but that’s just a function of the insane number of applications we have. There’s really not a great way to tell on paper who’s got the skills it takes to succeed in our business unless you talk to them and give them some problems.
