Hiring at Ramp: A few principles that helped us as a young startup
✓ Seek high-growth potential, even if they're rough around the edges. ✓ Go for the unconventional — modders, olympians, dropouts. Talent is everywhere; don't limit yourself to conventional profiles. ✓ Strong yes or no, nothing in between. If the team isn’t excited about a candidate, move on. ✓ Seek black sheep and misfits. Extraordinary talent often hides in unexpected places. ✓ Conventional resume screens miss extraordinary people. Prioritize obsession, perseverance, and creativity over traditional qualifications. ✓ Write unreasonably short job descriptions and make it easy to assess someone's performance on one metric that truly matters for the role
