You do your regular screening process. You have to have a very good hiring process in place.

What I also find is we do cultural interviews and often you should call them cultural ad interviews.

You're not going to fit somebody into your culture.

Like you're trying to add more to your culture by bringing these different people from different backgrounds, let's say.

But it's not just the hiring camera, I think where we are forgetting that it's super important to do is to train ourselves to read how does someone from a different culture behave. Welcome to the Second in Command Podcast, produced by the COO Alliance and brought to

you by its founder Cameron Herald. In the Second in command podcast we talked to top

COOs who share the insights, strategies and tactics that made them the chief

Welcome listeners to another exciting episode of the Second in Command podcast.

Today we have the pleasure speaking with a true

visionary in the tech world. Join us as we dive into the world of press books

with none other than Bashak, Boiuk Selen, the incredible COOO behind this open-sourced SAS platform.

BASHIC's passion for innovation and forward-thinking leadership is evident in everything

She's a global citizen with business experience spanning Turkey, Canada, and Mexico

and she's here to share her journey and insights with us.

With a focus on employee well-being,

a revolutionary concept in the tech industry,

come from an employee retention rather than just simply working longer hours.

But it's not all about work for Bashik.
