What do you look for when you’re hiring candidates? The biggest thing for me has always been a combination of creativity and genuine curiosity. In a startup environment new problems come up every day in a wide range of areas. One month you may be helping the product team add new features, the next helping sales improve their process, and still another helping marketing restructure their testing setup. The most valuable candidates are the ones interested in everybody in the company’s data related problems and always thinking of new and interesting ways to solve them.
