Hire deliberately, not defensively.
I noted that this recruitment effort is independent of any collaboration with Dilbert.
I am not with Dilbert.
I use the Mahabharata myth as a lens for hiring, contrasting deliberate Pandava‑style recruitment with defensive Kaurava‑style over‑hiring.
Pandu and Kunti “recruit” the Pandavas with intention.
Each son is born through a deliberate choice of deva, each with a distinct capability: governance, strength, strategy, specialist skills.
Dhritarashtra and Gandhari “recruit” the Kauravas in haste.
Driven by comparison and anger, they push for 100 sons at any cost.
100 mediocre hires do more harm than 5 thoughtful ones.
I decided to adopt a deliberate hiring framework, focusing on capability gaps, complementary skill portfolios, impact‑oriented KPIs, and leader mindfulness checks before major hiring pushes.
Separately, I posted a call for a single marketing professional at CloudRaft, describing the role as a “one man army” and inviting applications via talent@cloudraft.io.
We need the marketing guy.
One man army!
