zeeg · x · 2026-09-16
David Cramer (Sentry founder) weighs in on hiring in the AI era: as a hiring manager, his goal is to fill the headcount he needs with minimal risk and maximum effectiveness. He says he'd be OK with HR passing on someone like him, because "someone like me is an outlier and a risk. Sometimes you miss good talent and that's OK." The take reflects how companies prioritize risk control and efficiency over uncovering unconventional talent.
