His hiring philosophy flips conventional wisdom: personality and culture fit first, credentials last. His most recent hire had never touched a website backend but had spent two years teaching himself development by building random weekend projects. Zander also explains why intrinsic motivation and willingness to get your hands dirty matter more than experience, especially as AI reshapes what agency work looks like.
