Episode description

Oftentimes, in hiring processes, companies have a sense of leverage over prospective candidates. However, with Levels, this isn't the path that we take – we don't want to sell candidates, and we don't want candidates to sell us.

When bringing new team members onboard, the process is transparent. We don't trick people with challenges: "Here's a hard question, go and solve it." Rather, we give people the opportunity to document things, find areas where they can offer insight into what we're doing, and pick things apart.


In this episode, Michael Mizrahi, Head of Operations, and Andrew Conner, Head of Engineering and one of the Co-Founders of Levels, sat down and talked about the process of building our team and onboarding new team members.
