How Lore thinks about hiring the right people:
I’m really, really big on hiring rock stars. Like, that is every person [I hire]. I used to think that you could interview somebody and in an hour decide whether the person’s a rock star. I really thought that, and I think other people do as well.
It’s impossible. I’ve hired thousands of people. You cannot tell if somebody is a rock star in a one-hour interview, and more times than not, you’ll get honey potted. Somebody talks a good game, they sound good, they say the right things, they’ve got the right experience, then they don’t work out, and you wonder why.
