EPISODE #17: Winning with Sourcing: Shensi Ding, CEO and Co-founder of Merge, Shares Their Secret Sauce to Hiring A Skills and Culture Fit Every Time
This week, we’re joined by Shensi Ding, CEO and co-founder of Merge. Merge offers unified APIs that allow developers to integrate once to offer a full category of integrations.
Many companies have returned to the office recently or offer hybrid arrangements, but Shensi has always been a big believer in 100% in-person work. The Merge team is based in New York… and most of them were invited to be there.
In this episode, Shensi shares how sourcing remains critical to Merge’s recruiting strategy (even amidst an influx of applications) and why hiring managers own it rather than recruiters.
It’s pretty evident that Shensi is passionate about the culture at Merge. She ensures that junior team members feel comfortable to bring up ideas and everyone’s a joy to work with. There’s a “no asshole policy” — and it starts with hiring really good people.
How?
She gives us the breakdown on the Merge interview process and how they’ve approached hiring for skills AND culture fit, when the bar for both is pretty dang high.
