CEO Insight - Hunting Purple Squirrels

When a senior executive at one of the world’s largest tech companies tells me what they want, I listen. In this case, during our very first customer meeting after signing up, he told me that he wants a “purple squirrel”. 🐿

The term “purple squirrel” was coined to describe the “perfect candidate” for a job. And conventional wisdom says that it’s a bad idea to search for such a candidate, because it is unattainable.

But we like to ignore “conventional” wisdom. 😃

There is no such thing as perfect, but there is such as thing as finding a candidate who is the “perfect fit”. The key is to be able to trust that they will be able to perform at a high level in the actual work environment. And that can only be done through “simulation”.

When our customers create the right “scenarios” that simulate their work environment and culture they can scale and automate the process of finding a “perfect fit”. This vastly increase their chances of finding elite candidates that are perfect for their organization

That elusive “purple squirrel” can be hunted down after all.
