I recently read that in early days, uber employed an interesting strategy. Quoting directly from the HBR article:

As part of blitzscaling at Uber, managers would ask a newly hired engineer, “Who are the three best engineers you’ve worked with in your previous job?” And then they’d send those engineers offer letters. No interview. No reference checking. Just an offer letter. They’ve had to scale their engineering fast, and that’s a key technique that they’ve deployed.

Do you think that this approach works? Would this work for non-SDE roles (product managers, engineering leadership etc.) too?
