For Jennifer Dulski, hiring candidates who've served in the exact type of role she's looking to fill is not a priority. She adds that, at Rising Team, "in zero of our job descriptions will you ever see the term 'X years experience' doing ' XYZ.'" She's hired many people who have not had exactly the same job before, she says, and "fewer than 5% of them have failed." That doesn't mean she's hiring people who've never done anything related to the role. Their experience just doesn't have to be a carbon copy of the job she's hiring for.

I wanted to work in technology, and I wanted to work in business, so I went to get an MBA, as many people do. Coming out of Cornell's business school in 1999, I had a choice between traditional routes like consulting or brand management. Since then, I've spent 25 years working in leadership roles at tech companies, including Yahoo, Google, and Facebook. Sometimes, a demotion might be the right moveAt various stages in my career, I've had those kinds of crossroad moments. So, I'm teaching people how to scale companies while I'm scaling my own company, and I'm teaching people how to be great leaders while I'm building a company that helps people be great leaders.
