In this short video, Eric Siu explains that effective hiring starts with identifying a company’s core values and mission, then using those soft criteria to find candidates whose personal vision aligns with the organization’s. He emphasizes leveraging the company’s brand and vision to attract like‑minded talent, assessing whether a candidate’s career goals can fit within the company’s larger purpose, and being transparent when a mismatch occurs. The overall message is that hiring for cultural and vision fit, rather than just skills, leads to better long‑term employee success.

And if it's not, I'll tell them and I'll be like, that's not going to work here.
