Hire team members we can work with forever. Prioritize individuals who align with Treeview Manual and want to help build the long term vision of Treeview.
Prioritize great fits now. Prioritize present ideal candidate fit over potential ones that require compromises. Compromises often introduce conditional fits that lead to present-day pains, which we should aim to minimize.
Treeview gives little importance to CVs and formal education. We evaluate potential candidates by portfolio, trusted referrals and by working together. Before onboarding, all candidates should go through a short 1-2 week evaluation period, during which we collaborate on a challenging task to evaluate the experience of collaboration and the actual quality of output.
The best way to evaluate new team members is to immerse them in a high-stakes environment from the start. Early exposure to challenging tasks helps identify both strengths and areas for growth. By pushing to the point of failure, we gain valuable insights into whether a candidate is a good long-term fit and where they might need support.
The real evaluation happens after working together in a high-stakes environment. Fit should be evaluated on gut feeling and based evaluating Trust. Fit should be evaluated as binary. If there’s doubt, we should default to not a fit.
