The CallFire team and I just finished a recruiting effort at USC. We walked away pretty tired from having seen close to 100 students each. Some showed passion for their studies and most were still finding their way through school.
Recruiting at USC
Since there was always a line 15 deep of potential candidates, we decided to only ask one question: “Outside of school and work what projects have you been part of for fun and your own curiosity?”. This seemed to be a powerful question, many students simply had nothing to say, and we promptly ended our interviews with them. Some got excited and talked about their personal projects and passions. In a startup, passion is a big part of what we get our energy from, so its a pretty fundamental requirement for us. The way I see it, if you spend your free time working on your craft, then it must be something you really love to do!
