In this Kata, we break down how to hire and also, how to get hired. The focus is on what companies really look for, what actually matters, and why most people misunderstand the process.

We talk about why hiring is not about treating people as replaceable, but about building teams where each person brings something unique. We also explain what companies look for beyond just skills, like attitude, learning ability, judgment, and whether someone can actually do the work instead of just talking about it.
A big part of this Kata is understanding why people struggle to get hired. We look at how CVs often do not mean much anymore, why portfolios and proof of work matter more, and how referrals and real experience play a role. The overall idea is simple: what you say matters less than what you can show.
