Read our privacy policy Tim Cook has revealed the four traits he looks for in prospective Apple employees during his 11-year tenure as chief executive of the smartphone giant. “It’s not like somebody goes in a corner or closet and figures out by themselves.” Mr Cook said that Apple looks for “the fundamental feeling that if I share my idea with you, that that idea will grow and get bigger and get better, and that process is how Apple creates products. It’s amazing when somebody starts to ask questions as a kid would do.” However Apple, like many other technology companies, has been slowing down hiring amid an economic turndown that could become a recession. Google, Meta, which runs Facebook and Instagram, and Tesla have also slowed down hiring, with Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg saying in July that the economic downturn might be one of the “worst … we’ve seen in recent history” and that “realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be ”.
