The 23-time Grand Slam champion’s husband is undoubtedly aware of the competition in the market with regard to hiring potential candidates. Hiring is a huge factor to scale up a company successfully. For Ohanian, Bezos’ outlook on business development has long provided fascinating perspectives. Recently, he shared three of Bezos’ fundamental interview questions on Twitter which he finds incredibly nuanced. 

He wrote, “I love these 3 questions @JeffBezos asks before making a hiring decision: Will you admire this person? Will this person raise the average level of effectiveness of the group they’re entering? Along what dimension might this person be a superstar?”

Along with these, Ohanian focused on how Amazon’s hiring process is not simple. It also takes a look at whether the investments in certain candidates are positive or not. The hiring process can always be the toughest part for any company, and finding the right people to run the company might be one of the toughest jobs in the business world.

Last year, when a Twitter user shared an interview with one of the world’s richest men, Jeff Bezos, they talked about competing against one of the established brands, Barnes & Noble. In that interview, he talked about how his employees should not be worried about their competitors, as they would not give any monetary benefits to the company, but customers would.

The Reddit co-founder quoted the executive chairman’s words and praised his compassion on Twitter. He wrote, “Make something your customers love. If you can do this, your competition doesn’t matter.” Ohanian praised Bezos’s strategy regarding how fighting with the competitor is not important when you are trying to fulfill the customer’s needs.
