Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit and founder of the software company Dozuki, administers a grammar test to all prospective employees.
“Grammar is my litmus test,” he writes over at the Harvard Business Review blog. “All applicants say they’re detail-oriented; I just make my employees prove it.”
If it takes someone more than 20 years to notice how to properly use it’s, Wiens explains, “then that’s not a learning curve I’m comfortable with.”
