Operators Ep 2: Richard Ni (Cruise + Scale AI)

My guest is Richard Ni, formerly the first recruiter and then
head of recruiting at Cruise which got bought for $1b, and now
the head of people at ScaleAI, which was recently valued a $1b in
a round led by Founder’s Fund.


Richard has a very unique background for the world of HR/people
given he studied computer science at MIT the same year as me. I
think it gives him an incredibly unique perspective on how to
manage recruiting and talent, I think you’ll enjoy our
conversation.


If you’re enjoying these and want me to make more episodes and
invest in a studio etc. feel free to sign up for a paid
subscription and I’ll re-invest that all into the show.
