Figma CFO：AI 工具权限正成为招聘筹码
Figma 的财务团队两个月做了 40-50 个 agents，CFO 还把 AI 权限当招聘卖点聊，视角挺特别。
Figma CFO Praveer Melwani 在 a16z 播客中表示，公司已开放员工自由使用 AI 工具，并开始在招聘谈话中把它当作吸引人才的筹码。他自己的财务团队在约一两个月内搭建了 40 到 50 个 agents，替代了过去写几百行 SQL 才能出数据的工作。他认为财务团队从“交通警察”转向业务赋能者，而候选人更愿意加入能实际看到大家在动手构建的公司。
Figma CFO Praveer Melwani says AI acccess is now a recruiting tool, and the companies that win talent are the ones where you can see people building: "The policies that we created and the freedom we've given folks to explore are the reasons why some folks are like, 'I wanna stay here. I really, really like what I'm doing.'" "I don't know if folks are actually treating access to technology as a recruiting vehicle as much as they could or should. You know, I've at least started to do that in the recruiting conversations since I started to hear that from the team." "Especially when you're trying to pull from folks who are not necessarily in technology. They're like, 'Oh my gosh, this is my front entrance into an entirely new world, and if I'm empowered to learn, this is really cool.'" "If you get this feeling that you're joining an organization that's not just saying that they give access to these things, but they're actually building and that you can see it and you can feel it through the interview process, those are the places I'd gravitate to." @figma @IvanoMakSF Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter a16z @a16z Figma CFO Praveer Melwani used to spend his days writing hundreds of lines of SQL just to get one set of numbers everyone trusted. Now his finance team builds its own AI tools to do that work. He sees the CFO's job shifting from traffic cop to business enabler, as long as the people doing the building still own their thinking. Praveer joins a16z's Seema Amble and Ivan Makarov, authors of "You Need a New CFO," to discuss the growth-stage finance team that built 40 to 50 agents in a month or two, what breaks when every rep vibe codes their own dashboard, and how finance went from sitting out hackathons to winning them. 0:00 From traffic cop to business enabler 8:48 Hire people who understand the model 12:20 Vibe coding a target to test moats 13:15 An AI Dylan Field reviews the memos 18:01 Let AI make the messy data calls 20:00 Unused agents still build the habit 20:46 The CIO's new job: scale what works 22:36 The rise of the finance engineer 26:24 Why the board trusts his numbers 30:25 AI tools as a recruiting perk 40:35 Why Excel is his "love language" 44:20 What to look for in your next CFO YouTube: youtu.be/9iAQdKxyiQc @figma @seema_amble @IvanoMakSF Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 2 🔄 0 ❤️ 8 👀 4633 📊 2 ⚡
