A little while ago, we sat down with a billionaire who wanted to remain anonymous, mostly because he didn’t want anyone to know his name. As we talked, he told us his secret to hiring the best employees, and we were shocked that it came down to one single quality that he felt was more important than anything else. We share it below:
 
 
 
The one single quality that separates great candidates from good ones, according to a top billionaire.
 
  1. I look for a candidate who has the ability to solve problems while also being super intelligent, charming, but not so charming that they come off as fake, but also good-looking (but not in a way like, “Oh hey, I hired this guy/woman because he/she’s so hot,” because that’s sexual harassment or something) and also they have to be the kind of person who’s really really fun to hang around even if you’re not working, and also good at computers, like is able to fix them when they break or whatever, because I’m not good at that stuff, and oh, I almost forgot—they need to dress well, but not like wear a tuxedo to work, and they need to be able to manage people, especially the ones with bad attitude problems, so I don’t have to fire everyone myself and this person can do it because she/he’s good at that and also good at organizing events and stuff and can count in her/his head how many people are there and how much food to order and how many chairs, but that wouldn’t mean that this person would be like a full time event planner or something, because he/she would only do that stuff when I really needed him/her to, like around the holidays when we have office parties, because most of the time, he/she’d be doing math stuff, like number stuff that I also don’t do very well and I’ll give you a quick example of that by saying just picture me and this person and I say to the person, “Hey, run the numbers. I want to make more money this year,” and he/she just says, “Yes boss, I will do that and the quarterly projections for this quarter show that we have increased our profits by one thousand percent, so you should congratulate yourself and buy another beach house,” and I’m all like, “Congratulate myself? I should congratulate you for doing all the money and numbers stuff and making me richer,” but then I think about it for a second and take that back and realize that he/she is right and that I should congratulate myself because I was the one who came up with all the criteria to hire him/her and I did it and it’s over and I’m rich.
