The app for independent voices

I don’t even know if my company, VaynerMedia, looks at resumes. I sure don’t.

I hire SVPs and VPs — I did two interviews the other day for these $300,000 to $700,000 per year jobs — and I have no clue where any candidate worked or what college they went to.

Now, do college degrees matter? Yes, of course there are several professions where you need a college degree & many others who only hire from the Ivies, but it's not the standard for everyone anymore.

My company is a real legit company—the hottest Madison Avenue agency in the world—we don't even require a college degree. I couldn't tell you what college 99% of my employees went to...

I have no f*cking clue. It doesn't matter. And by the way, Google, Facebook, real companies are taking it out of the equation because they're not getting the best talent.

Some of the best engineers ... these kids today are saying, "F*ck college! I'm going to make a million 💲 on the side building a little app"

That's exactly who Google wants. It's becoming like sports out here. Nobody gave a f*ck that LeBron didn't go to college ... so I think businesses are starting to become like sports...

Talk to me about your TALENT, not about what box you check ✅
