Video interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTfSOY9bMsI

Some of the questions that we went through:

– I see from your education that you are more of a business person which seems to align with Netflix strategy on (recruiting should understand business), how did that help you? And how did you manage to recruit for wildly different functions?
– Beside the technical abilities what are the personality treats that makes you want to hire someone
– Is hiring automate-able? Using something like Netflix recommendation engine to recommend engineers for teams (given that there is relevant and enough data to get such system working)
– When hiring for different levels, what are the technical and personal treats you would look for?
– Many Egyptian artists are very excited that Netflix is in the production business in Egypt, for people in creative industry how can they get Netflix attention to showcase their work
– How do you see someone moving from one company to another in less than a year?
– What is the difference between hiring engineers and hiring non-engineers?
– how important social profile when hiring (GitHub, LinkedIn, etc)
– Hiring and Metaverse, do you think hiring and work can happen in this way?
– is Unlimited vacation is a good concept? Does people abuse it?
– What do you think about self learnt software engineers? Does their career similar to CS Graduate?
