I agree with your article that hiring decisions should not be based on industry knowledge and skills alone. At Beyond.com, we look for candidates that would be a good fit within our corporate culture and team environment. Although skills and qualifications are important, these attributes can be learned, but the ability to work well in a team is more difficult to find. We believe that team collaboration is major factor to our company’s success. Every level of our organization (from new-hires to senior management) comes to build friendships, grow professionally and contribute to Beyond.com, which has allowed us to quickly expand our operations and position ourselves for future growth.
