In this brief monologue, the speaker explains a hiring philosophy that favors candidates with higher general intelligence—specifically, a faster learning rate—over those with more prior experience. The speaker defines intelligence as the speed at which a person can acquire new skills, arguing that a high‑learning‑rate hire may start slightly behind an experienced hire but can surpass them within six months. The core claim is that superior learning ability enables rapid skill acquisition, making it a more valuable predictor of future performance than past experience.

I hire far more for general intelligence now. I want someone who has just significantly higher horsepower. Intelligence will allow someone to bridge the skill gap faster. I want somebody who has high intelligence because I define intelligence as rate of learning. If I can get someone who has a high rate of learning versus somebody else, maybe that person starts a little bit behind, but in 6 months they're going to pass the other person who might have experience.
