My thinking around hiring

Don’t

• Use agencies
• Don’t delegte hiring (it should be founder-led as you need to define the culture of the company)

Do

• Spend at least an hour a day on hiring
• Be always part of the interview process (don’t delegate until your product does well)
• Hire slow (it takes months to find the right candidate)
• Focus on capabilities during the interviews (the point or the interview is to get down to the bottom of the competence and ability to succeed)
• Hire more lean and experienced team members
• Pay fair packages and align with incentives
• Consider a referral incentives
• You might find most aligned/passionate individuals from your own community
• Write really good onboarding content
