Preply CEO Kirill Bigai revealed that he dedicates 50% to 60% of his time to hiring for the language-learning startup. Bigai asks a variety of questions during interview processes to better understand potential hires. He focuses on understanding why a candidate is leaving their current position, what they hope to achieve next, and the reason behind their decision.
Bigai mentions that Preply prioritizes hiring candidates with ambition, boldness, and collaboration skills. He looks for candidates who are ambitious, quick to act, and detail-oriented while collaborating in a respectful environment. If a candidate's goals don't align with Preply's mission, Bigai believes it's better to discover this during the interview rather than later.
