Bryan Power stands out for his skepticism toward standard hiring playbooks—he's argued that copying big-tech recruiting methods or over-hiring from an industry's own incumbents, as seen at Square, can actually work against a growing company. He also judges talent by how far someone has traveled to reach where they are rather than just their resume, uses a simple three-part framework to diagnose hiring problems, and serves on the board of Avenica, a firm that places recent college graduates into career-track jobs.
