On 2 May, a public talk was held at University of California at Berkeley, organized by the Computer Science Undergraduate Association. The title of the talk is “Hiring is Obsolete.” Well, I haven’t had the chances to read te transcript yet, but looking at the abstract, it is really an eye opener. A great idea which may help Malaysia address the unemployment issue especially in IT industry.

Below are the abstract;

Most CS undergrads hope to get a good job when they graduate. But as the age of startup founders creeps downward, I foresee an alternative path for the most ambitious: instead of going to work for Microsoft, start a startup and make Microsoft buy it to get you.

This change will do more than make some young hackers richer. It will fuse recruitment with product development. Instead of applying for a job and then being told what to work on, you join the company as a complete development team, with a beta version.

Results:
(a) a shift in power from companies to hackers, and
(b) an increase in the rate at which new technology gets developed.

Obviously this new model will be a better deal for the best hackers. But I think it will also be better for the Microsofts. The few tens of millions extra that they’ll pay will be a bargain for what they’ll get.
