Jeff Bezos’ 3 Questions For Hiring Amazon Workers
Since the early days of Amazon, Jeff Bezos has been known for personally assessing new hires. In a 1999 interview, Bezos said that each new employee sets the bar for the ones to come after them. Given his busy schedule now, obviously he isn’t working much in the interview process today. However, he did create a list of questions that hiring managers can use for reference:
- Will you admire this person?
- Will this person raise the average level of effectiveness of the group they’re entering?
- Along what dimension might this person be a superstar?
According to CNBC.com, Bezos also included pointers for how these questions should be answered. Given the growth of the company since it’s early days, Bezos certainly knows a thing or two about hiring innovative employees that can take a business to the next level.
