Most early-stage startup hiring processes take up fifty percent of the founder's time if you want to be more efficient, having a procedure already established and a team taking care of recruiting can drastically minimize the time you spend on it.
People with previous experience working in early-stage organizations are an attractive candidate pool for early-stage employment opportunities. You might also think of people interested in contributing to creating something new but haven't previously had the chance.
When recruiting for an early-stage company, the most crucial thing to remember is that you are not attempting to persuade people to join your company alone, but you offer a conducive environment where their talent and skills can flourish, and their careers grow.
In this episode of The Gradience Podcast, Nigel is joined by Jennifer Smith, Co-Founder of Scribe.
They cover:
👉 [ 00:08:07 ] As a founder, not shipping things fast enough by spending too much time thinking about the product and not letting your customers' feedback shape the process affects the overall performance in the market
👉 [ 00:08:34 ] If you hear a lot of feedback from people concerning your business, that means they care about your product. The more feedback, the better
👉 [ 00:08:46 ] As a founder, you need to have a vision for the problem you are trying to solve and how the world will improve afterward
👉 [ 00:08:59 ] Hire great people and point them in the direction of your vision
👉 [ 00:09:07 ] Always listen to your customers and respond to the feedback you receive from them
👉 [ 00:11:00 ] To get the best candidate for the roles within your startup, "it is important to talk to many people". And from the pool of candidates, you will be able to identify the right people to fit those roles
👉 [ 00:14:48 ] For your early engineering hires, candidates that are both incredibly technical and creative simultaneously
👉 [ 00:22:07 ] The most important thing to realize when doing early-stage recruiting is "you are not trying to convince people to come to do an early-stage company".
👉 [ 00:22:26 ] Your ideal early-stage hires should be people who have experience working in early-stage companies. Also, you may consider candidates who want to be a part of building something but haven't had the opportunity
👉 [ 00:28:03 ] Founders spend fifty percent of their time recruiting. To be more efficient, having a process in place and a team that takes care of hiring will greatly reduce the time you spend
👉 [ 00:29:25 ] Access "culture fits" straight from the beginning.
