Palantir boss Alex Karp hires people in less than 2 minutes and personally interviews applicants
Briefly

Karp remarked, 'A lot of my populist-left politics actually bleed into my hiring stuff,' indicating his unique approach to workforce selection based on values rather than conventional metrics.
Rather than favoring privilege, Karp states, 'If you ask the question that the Stanford, Harvard, Yale person has answered a thousand times, all you're learning is that they have learned to play the game,' emphasizing his preference for authenticity.
Karp uses his hiring process to seek genuine talent, saying, 'I'm searching for the feeling like I'm in the presence of talent,' demonstrating a focus on potential over pedigree.
Karp has faced backlash for his views, admitting, 'My position as CEO would be worthless if I didn't stand up for what I believe,' highlighting his commitment to his principles.
