The article discusses the hiring strategies of established companies versus startups, focusing on Cody Wittick's e-commerce agency, Kynship. Unlike many employers who prefer candidates that match job criteria exactly, Wittick seeks applicants with unconventional skills and the ability to adapt. This approach counters the trend of companies favoring experience aligned completely with job descriptions or relying on AI for recruitment. Emphasizing cultural fit and eagerness to learn over strict qualifications, Wittick demonstrates that potential can be more beneficial than perfectly aligned resumes.
There's a thousand people out there who'll match the job description, but the one that's actually going to make a difference in your company is probably the one that doesn't.
What matters is that they're eager to learn, think outside the box, and are a cultural fit. You can teach someone tools, but you can't teach inherent talent.
