Values-based Recruiting with Andrew Ramm

In this episode of Art of Search: Hiring Manager Series, we are joined by Andrew Ramm, former General Manager of Amazon Guided Shopping, who shares his insights on assembling gender-diverse teams.   

Andrew begins by discussing the fundamental principles of values-based hiring for his teams. Great organizations define their core values. What are the key behaviors that permeate throughout the organization? How do those behaviors drive that success? Then, recruiting efforts should focus on finding candidates who demonstrate these values while in the interview process.

You’ll hear a story about one of the values, earned trust, and humility that emerged in the most unsuspecting places—a new hire with some big shoes to fill. Drawing from his own experiences, Andrew recounts the story. This episode offers valuable insights for hiring managers on building high-performing teams, creating environments that focus on growth, and how values-alignment will build amazing teams.
