Akbar Karenga (Maarusi & Founders Factory) - Hiring, firing and everything in between
Show Notes

Akbar is the type of person who you are really eager to learn from as he has his opinions fact-checked and backed by research. Not just stand-alone studies from your local journal of esoteric sciences, from meta analyses and Google stuff. He is also open to challenges, so he is just Talent Hall of Fame if you ask Spela and Tamas. 

What did we learn in this episode?

- Optimal hiring sequence (with async participants)
- R.I.P CVs and reference calls
- How to get to DEI nirvana (remote first & work sample tasks)
- Fire if you have to but keep a friend

If you still ask for CVs from your candidates you might want to give this episode a listen.
