"I have to interview across all kinds of expertises,"
"I can't be an expert in everything, and so I reduce it down to just three things."
"Whenever I would hire people, I was trying to compose almost like an organism of strengths and then minimize the conflicts,"
"The world's changing, right? So you do need people that are adaptable. So all the experience is not necessarily one-to-one relevant."
Jason Droege, interim CEO of Scale AI, reduces hiring assessment to three core traits: curious problem solving, humble collaboration, and leadership. Scale provides data-labeling and model-improvement services to companies such as Meta, OpenAI, and xAI to refine chatbot responses. The hiring framework emphasizes adaptability over direct experience for most roles because rapid change often makes past experience partially irrelevant. The framework also notes that certain specialist positions—particularly research roles—still require specific, current experience. Team composition focuses on combining complementary strengths and minimizing conflicts to increase organizational effectiveness.
