David Senra(@davidsenra):The two things Ramp Cofounder @eglyman looks for when hiring: 1. Evidence of a spike 2. Exceptional drive “ There’s a whole community of people at Ramp we found because when they were 15 years old, they were playing like 80-100 hours a week on Minecraft.” “I'm less interested in: what is on the resume. I'm far more interested in proof of work. Often I'm really looking for signs of that.” “You can find that by searching: where is the work?” “So part of our hiring process is trying to look for people who are very active on GitHub.” “We're trying to meet people who were leaders in different bizarre fringe communities.”
