In this episode, Vercel's Head of Global Recruiting Ops,Viet Nguyen, and Nolan unpack a deceptively simple experiment that turned into a hiring cheat code: reverse-engineering the judgment of an A+ interviewer to level up everyone else.

What started as a Friday night curiosity turned into a new framework for talent density, interviewer training, and turning instinct into insight.

In this episode you’ll learn:
- How Viet uncovered what behaviors top candidates actually exhibit — and how to operationalize them
- The custom tool Vercel built to surface high-signal inbound applicants
- How to stop obsessing over perfect systems and just start building
