On: Everyone thinks they're hiring the top 1% (2005)

I agree whole heartedly with this point. I currently work for a large bay area company and I noticed a new intern come on board who just has the 'X' factor, and could well turn into that top 1% or close to it.

Needless to say I'll most likely approach him as my first hire when I get to that stage with my own startup.
