It should come as no surprise to most people that Tesla is hiring to fill positions at its new Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. However, with the global chip shortage and other supply chain constraints, along with the unknowns related to the timing of Tesla's production ramp, it may seem quick to some that Tesla is making public announcements about hiring.

That said, CEO Elon Musk has said in the past that employees may be hard to come by, and he's been pushing for people to move into the Austin, Texas, area since the middle of last year. In fact, he also pressed for an uptick in housing in the areas surrounding the massive automotive and E.V battery factory.

Just yesterday, Tesla's Project Director for the Office of the CEO Omead Afshar took to Twitter to announce that the company is hiring at Giga Texas.

Musk has also maintained over the years that a college education isn't necessarily what he's looking for in a proper candidate. Rather, he wants to know about the work they've done in the past, and how they've proven themselves successful, especially when it comes to solving difficult problems with innovative methods.

In early 2021, Musk said Tesla would need 10,000 employees for Giga Texas through 2022. He also touted the area as a great place for people to consider relocating.

My Take: I like Elon's thinking on this. Better to get the right candidates rather than people who just looks good on paper.
