Collibra CEO describes what he looks for in AI-first employees
""In any interview, you expect people to think AI first in all the ways they do their job," Van de Maele said in an interview with Business Insider. "And so if we ask for that and people haven't used or experimented with AI tools, they don't have a sense of how they do their job better, faster using AI, that definitely becomes a bit of a red flag.""
""I think you can ask questions to get a sense of how are people actually using those tools and what kind of experience have they had," he said. "I think that's really important. Do they have an interest and are they leaning into wanting to use those tools, or are they more defensive and taking a step back on the adoption of those tools?""
Candidates for roles at Collibra are expected to demonstrate practical AI familiarity and to adopt AI-first approaches to their work. Lack of hands-on experience with AI tools is treated as a hiring red flag. Internal AI adoption at Collibra has increased drastically over the past year, with roughly 1,000 employees using AI for tasks from meeting transcription to building custom agents and assistants. Hiring expectations vary by role; engineers are expected to use AI agents like Cursor. A key enterprise challenge remains fine-tuning AI models to the specific needs of each company.
