No one to a first approximation “wants to be” at your company anymore than they want to be at any other company that will allow them to exchange labor for money.
Any experienced employee knows how to look up what you do on your website and say they have a “passion for $x”.
I’ve had 10 jobs in almost 30 years ranging from a 30 person Startup to BigTech, they’ve all just been a means to support my addiction to food and shelter.
