I really dislike the term "A player. " It implies a grading system that can determine who will be best for a position. HR people always ask how Netflix, where I served as chief talent officer from 1998 to 2012, managed to hire only A players. I say, "There’s an island populated exclusively by A players, but only some of us know where it is. "
In truth, one company’s A player may be a B player for another firm. There is no formula for what makes people successful. Many of the people we let go from Netflix because they were not excelling at what we were doing went on to excel in other jobs.
Finding the right people is also not a matter of " culture fit. " What most people really mean when they say someone is a good fit culturally is that he or she is someone they’d like to have a beer with. But people with all sorts of personalities can be great at the job you need done. This misguided hiring strategy can also contribute to a company’s lack of diversity, since very often the people we enjoy hanging out with have backgrounds much like our own.
Making great hires is about recognizing great matches—and often they’re not what you’d expect. Take Anthony Park. On paper he wasn’t a slam dunk for a Silicon Valley company. He was working at an Arizona bank, where he was a " programmer," not a " software developer. " And he was a pretty buttoned up guy. We called Anthony because in his spare time he’d created a Netflix-enhancing app, which he had posted on his website. He came in for a day of interviews, and everyone loved him. When he got to me, late in the day, I told him he would be getting an offer. He seemed overwhelmed, so I asked if he was all right. He said, " You’re going to pay me a lot of money to do what I love!" I did wonder how he’d fit in with the high-powered team he was joining; I hoped it wouldn’t burn him out.
In this article I’ll describe what I’ve learned about making great hires during my 14 years at Netflix and in subsequent consulting on culture and leadership. The process requires probing beneath the surface of people and their resumes; engaging managers in every aspect of hiring; treating your in-house recruiters as true business partners; adopting a mindset in which you’re always recruiting; and coming up with compensation that suits the performance you need and the future you aspire to. My observations may be especially relevant to fast-growing tech-based firms, whose rapid innovation means a continual need for new talent. But organizations of all types can benefit from taking a fresh look at their hiring and compensation practices.
Why does the author raise the example of Anthony Park?
选项
A、Because he was unexpected for a Silicon Valley company.
B、Because he was a pretty buttoned up guy.
C、Because the author wants to prove that great hires sometimes come from unexpected matches.
D、Because he didn’t fit in with the high-powered team.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。首先根据题干中的关键词Anthony Park定位到第四段,然后分析举这个人的例子有什么作用。议论文中的事例一般都是用作论据来论证一个论点的,而大多数情况下论点位于段首或段尾。先分析段首:“选贤任能是要发现良配,最终人选可能出乎你的意料。”紧接着就提出了Anthony Park的例子,因此这个例子正是为了证明首句论点的,因此应该选择[C]。
