Why even bother posting it?
![Suggested William Campbell • 3rd+ CISO | Security That Supports and Enables the Business 2d.→ + Follow New recruiting strategy: post for the position on some high visibility job board (e.g., LinkedIn) and automatically reject all applications that come through that channel, as well as any applications to the company career site. Program in a three-day delay before sending a polite rejection email, just to make it seem legit. Crazy? Like a fox, maybe. Consider: this way, the only candidates to get attention will be those resourceful and motivated enough to circumvent the "front door" application process, or those referred by a mutual, or those presented by a trusted recruiter who already knows my needs and has fully vetted the candidate not just for technical "check the box" requirements but for personality and culture fit. I'm pretty sure this would be more effective than trusting an ATS to match keywords, or tasking an "economical" low-level clerk to sift through résumés for positions that pay three or four times what he or she makes. (Might get a lot of hate mail on this one. I'm not being entirely facetious. And yes, I understand that there are hiring situations in which this would be stupid... just not the situations I deal with in my sector.) Oh, and I do have other, perhaps less nasty, ideas for how to cope with the Firehose of Applications™ problem. Maybe another post sometime. 13 22 comments](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/891/569/9b7.png)

Fired his brother for having a life
![Michael Vilardo - 2nd + Follow ÷ CEO @ Subject | Multilingual + Credit ... Visit my website 39m⚫ At my brother's bachelor party in Montreal, all I could think about was the office. Yes, I am that obsessed with my work. And I wouldn't have it any other way, because the obsession that me and my team have with education is the not-so-secret sauce that powers Subject. I bet that this will feel relatable to a lot of builders and founders: If you don't want to do your work on the weekends, you're not truly obsessed with it, which means you'll have a harder time going that extra mile required to achieve success. Take my brother for example. I initially hired him at Subject because he's super talented and smart. But his passions show up differently. He's a hobbyist, ready to clock out at 5pm to go rock climb or skateboard - and that's just not our culture at all. I wanted my brother, Daniel Vilardo, to be happy and successful - by his definition, not ours. So he moved on from Subject and now he's crushing it in his new career. I'm thrilled for his success Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong whatsoever with pursuing hobbies or work-life balance. But his interests and work-style preferences just didn't make him a great fit for our education-obsessed team. Our team loves work like it's our favorite hobby. I'm cool with stating this bluntly because we're based in a city of 10 million people. We can be honest about seeking out 20 obsessives from that 10 million, and leaving the other hobbyists to enjoy their own interests. My personal barometer for culture fit is, I hope, obvious by now: you have to be truly obsessed with education to thrive at Subject. Hit us up if that's you.
