Hiring the Best People

Patty McCord, Netflix’s former Chief Talent Officer, sees hiring as
constant matchmaking. Building a team of people that gets amazing
work done, she says, requires managers to really know what they
need, and for HR to actually understand the workings of the
business. She says money should not be the reason someone leaves
and that we should stop using words like “poaching” and “firing.”
McCord is the author of “How to Hire,” in the January–February 2018
issue of Harvard Business Review.
