Bringing culture into the hiring process
How do you figure out what your culture is and how your employees behave? There are many ways to get to this and various processes you can use to unearth and define your culture and behaviors.
This module is for companies that currently are in the Sweet Spot. This is the stage between start-up and a scale-up. There’s more than the founding team, the company is funded, there’s proven market fit, and you are about to really scale up. That’s the place where Janet spent most of her career, and the stage that Scott and her will focus most of their attention on.

In the fourth module, you will learn about what your culture is and how your employees behave.
In the scale-up phase you aren’t just hiring for the role you have today. You are hiring for what that job is going to look like a year from now. You spend time and effort on development and begin to identify emerging leaders.
That's why in this module you will gain insights into how to find the right people - and encourage the right behaviors - in order to build a culture that drives performance and gets you the business results you want.
How you build that culture is tackled by Janet - who, as Twitter's first VP of HR, grew the team from 90 to 4000 people.
