????科技公司CEO們往往身兼數職。但其中最重要的一項職責是，招聘合適的員工。云存儲服務公司Hightail（原名YouSenIt）的CEO布拉德?加爾林豪斯表示，他會把超過50%的時間用于吸引人才和招聘新員工。在科羅拉多州阿斯彭市召開的財富科技頭腦風暴大會上，這位前雅虎（Yahoo）高管告訴現場聽眾：“最后，我們這些人還要承擔首席文化官的職責?！?/p>

????周二下午，加爾林豪斯參加了一場名為“借人才助增長”（Fueling Growth with Talent）的討論會，出席的還有其他四位科技公司CEO，包括電子簽名服務公司DocuSign的基斯?克拉奇和軟件供應商NetSuite的扎克?尼爾森。其他大多數CEO都表示，他們會把30%至40%的時間用于背景調查，批準工作邀請和確定招聘的優先順序。

????討論會上，Docusign公司CEO克拉奇表示：“身為CEO，最重要的工作是組建高效的團隊。其次是讓所有人真正像一個團隊一樣共同協作。”當然，把這么多時間用在人事方面，意味著只能將其他任務下放或委派。對于克拉奇來說，其他任務包括“細節和收發郵件?！边@位科技界資深人物表示，他最近進行了八份背景調查，最終才聘用了一名新首席收益官，結果給公司帶來了巨大的機遇，為公司增加了許多潛在客戶。

????戴維?戈德堡是位于帕洛阿爾托的市場調查公司SurveyMonkey的CEO，Facebook首席運營官，也是《向前一步》（Lean In）作者謝麗爾?桑德伯格的丈夫。他認為，至少要拿出一部分時間，來確保他的公司是一個同時適合男性和女性共同工作的、和諧友好的場所。戈德堡說：“在我的高級團隊中，約有40%的是女性。這一點跟我的妻子無關?！辈贿^，戈德堡也提到公司依然存在巨大的“渠道”問題。Docusign的克里奇補充道：“這要追溯到教育問題，工程類院校應該設法增加女性生源。這是我們一直在思考的問題?！?/p>

????域名注冊服務商GoDaddy（沒錯，這家公司的廣告里都是衣著暴露的女性）的CEO布雷克?埃爾文也表示，增加工作場所的多樣性同樣也是他的工作重點。埃爾文于近期才接管這家域名注冊服務商。他在女性工程師組織中非?；钴S，也曾指導過女性高管。而HighTail公司的CEO加爾林豪斯認為，新女性楷模的涌現將對更多女性進入工程領域產生積極影響。

????但到目前為止，即使許多公司都把重心調整到招聘工作上，女性（和少數民族）在大型科技公司內所占的比例依然很小。（財富中文網）

????Technology CEOs wear many hats. But one of their most important responsibilities is recruiting the right employees. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Hightail (formerly known as YouSendIt), says he spends over 50% of his time attracting talent and hiring new workers. "All of us, at the end of the day, are also chief cultural officers," the former Yahoo (YHOO) executive told the audience at Fortune's Brainstorm TECH conference in Aspen, Colo.

????Garlinghouse was joined by four other tech CEOs, including Docusign's Keith Krach and Zach Nelson of NetSuite (N) in a session titled "Fueling Growth with Talent," which took place Tuesday afternoon. Most of the other CEOs on the panel said they spend anywhere from 30% to 40% of their time doing reference checks, approving offers and prioritizing hires.

????"The most important role of a CEO is to build a high performance team," Krach, the CEO of Docusign, said during the panel. "The second is to get everybody working together as a team." Of course, spending so much time on the people side of the business means other tasks get delegated or dropped. For Krach, those things include "details and doing email." The tech veteran said he recently conducted eight reference checks before hiring a new chief revenue officer, which ended up being a good opportunity to plug his company to potential customers.

????For CEOs like David Goldberg, who runs Palo Alto-based SurveyMonkey (and is married to Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook (FB) COO and author of Lean In), at least part of that time is also spent on making sure his company is a friendly place to work for?both men and women. "About 40% of my senior team are women," said Goldberg. "This is not because of my wife." But Goldberg also said there is still a big "pipeline" problem. "It goes back to education and trying to recruit women for engineering schools," added Docusign's Krach. "It's a question we're asking ourselves all the time."

????Blake Irving, CEO of GoDaddy (yes, the company with the ads that feature scantily-clad women), also said adding more diversity to the workplace is a focus for him. To that end, Irving, who recently took over the domain name-hosting provider, is active in organizations for female engineers and has mentored female executives. As for Garlinghouse, the CEO of HighTail, he thinks the emergence of new female role models (a la Sheryl Sandberg and Yahoo's Marissa Mayer) could have a positive effect on getting more women into the engineering field.

????But for now, women (and minorities) are still a small percentage of overall employees at many major tech companies, even with all of the focus on hiring.
