Laszlo Bock is SVP of People Operations at Google.  In this video, he shares advice on how to interview, hire, and retain top talent.

Key Insights:  

1. Google interviews and hires by committee.  The committee’s sole job is to maintain quality, and decision-making authority is never delegated to an individual hiring manager.
2. Google believes in a wide distribution of compensation.  According to Bock, most pay systems are based on misguided notions of fairness (i.e. it is unfair to pay an employee too much or too little relative to other employees).  At Google, pay curves are exponential.
