Is the Netflix Recruiting Model a Precursor to Blockchain Staffing?

I don’t have to tell you that Netflix is a revolutionary company. They changed the way we watch movies and TV. They set the bar for company culture. They transformed the hiring manager and recruiter relationship. And now, they may have unwittingly become the precursor to the next big thing in staffing: blockchain.

The Birth of an Industry Icon

As Netflix’s former CTO, Patty McCord had a humble mission: to reinvent their company culture. She was to create a workplace where “fully formed adults” could thrive. At the core of her plan lay freedom and responsibility. The freedom for employees to make their own decisions, and the responsibility of making them wisely. The culture overhaul wasn’t about extravagant perks just to attract talent; it was about changing company values from the inside out. McCord wanted to redefine how employees function within the company ecosystem. And she did. Netflix set the standard for innovative company culture, creating one that prioritizes honesty, adaptability, and responsibility over everything else.

This new company infrastructure afforded Netflix the ability to make a slew of changes. They were able to scale from a humble DVD rental service to a global content-streaming provider. Their culture allowed them to find not just top talent, but top talent that wanted to stick around for the long-haul. As with any rapidly growing company, Netflix’s need for candidates became urgent. Naturally, they decided to change the way they recruit people, too.
