In a recent interview with Kristen Hayward, Head of People and Operations at Superhuman, we discussed the company's hiring process and what they look for in potential candidates. Superhuman is on a mission to save users time by creating the fastest email experience ever made. With over 3,000 teams using their product and saving 10 million hours annually, Superhuman is looking to expand its team to continue its growth.

As the company values remarkable quality and creating delight, they search for candidates embodying certain traits, regardless of the role. These traits include a growth mindset, start-to-finish ownership, and proactive positivity.

A growth mindset means that candidates should be continually looking to learn, grow, and develop, while also fostering the same growth in their teammates. Start-to-finish ownership implies that employees take responsibility for their work from beginning to end, identifying potential problems and taking appropriate steps to address them. Proactive positivity means that candidates actively contribute to a positive work environment and are open to feedback.

Superhuman emphasizes the importance of good intentions and being open to growth, both personally and professionally. The company believes that if employees have good intentions and are open to feedback, they can become great team members and create a positive work environment.

As Superhuman continues its growth, they encourage potential applicants to visit their website and learn more about the company and its open positions. With a focus on product-led growth and fostering a positive company culture, Superhuman is an exciting opportunity for those looking to join a fast-growing company.
