Signal vs. Noise: Hiring for Leverage in the AI Era
Hiring used to be about resumes. Now it's about signal vs noise in an AI-generated world.
Everyone looks qualified. Everyone sounds smart. But very few people create real leverage at scale.
So how do you actually hire the right people when your team is 50, 200, or 500+?
🔍 What we'll cover
Why hiring is getting harder (not easier) with AI, especially at scale
The difference between skills vs superpowers
How to identify someone's real edge in 30 minutes
The 6 superpowers framework (Thinker, Strategist, Operator, Connector, Influencer, Builder)
How to build teams and org structures where roles complement rather than overlap or cancel each other out
Mistakes leaders make when hiring "smart people" into senior roles
How to evolve your hiring bar as the company scales

4:00pm: Check in + Networking
4:15pm to 5:15pm: Panel — Why hiring is so difficult at scale (good vs bad hires)

🔥 Why this matters
AI is compressing execution. The advantage no longer comes from who can ship faster — it comes from judgment, taste, and leverage.
The only thing that matters now:
👉 Who thinks better
👉 Who sees what others don't
👉 Who creates disproportionate outcomes across an organization
For growth-stage companies, the cost of a bad senior hire is measured in quarters, not weeks. This event is about learning how to find the people who compound.
P.S This session is designed for professionals who hire, manage and build teams, from founders and operators to functional leaders, senior managers and talent teams.
