We can all agree that the only way to 10 or 100x your company is to hire the strongest people. So, what are the strongest people? 

The strongest person for your company is a person who aligns with your values first. They understand the mission and they have a strong desire to impact the business because it benefits them first. 

Understanding the person across the table does not happen by chance but by a systematic approach to your interview that is designed to gather concrete evidence. 

The smartest companies know that cultural alignment is far more critical to a successful hire than merely a person’s skills.
