20Product: How the Best Teams Do Product Reviews | What Everyone Gets Wrong in Hiring Product Teams | Product Lessons Leading Facebook App Monetisation Team to Billions in Revenue with Maria Angelidou, CPO @ Personio

I mean, it's important to hire the right people, just a full stop. And I ended up keeping it because it was something like from the DNA of Personio and actually it made my experience pretty unique. So I kept it, but the way that I changed it is it's very concise and it shouldn't take more than like an hour of someone's time.

And they go away and do it or it's like a do it while they're... Yeah, so ideally you give it to people at least two days in advance because like you said, you can't, you know, people are busy. You can't expect them to find time last minute, right? So you just send them to them, send it to them and they come back with, you know, their thoughts of how they would tackle some problem.

I think you should definitely negotiate. And I'll tell you that women typically don't negotiate and men do. So that's my experience. So I think you have to negotiate is just part of the deal. And if you feel uncomfortable negotiating with the company, negotiate with the talent acquisition person, right? Like whoever the recruiter is, don't negotiate with the manager.

Because they also sometimes don't know, you know, what... What do you think women don't negotiate and men do? I think there is a misconception that that could reflect badly on your relationship with the person that you're talking to. And I think it's at the end is it shouldn't be the case. Title. I think title is, is not as a company.

Like when I, when I came into Personio, I changed all the titles and, you know, simplified and all of that. So I don't think you can give, unless you are really, really early, but I don't think you just can give whatever titles, right? Like you have to have consistency in your organization. and clear mapping to all the levels from other companies you hire from.

I think if it's a really bad hire, you will know within a few weeks. If it's, most cases though, you just, they're kind of slower.
