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
Test periods.
Dont hire at all, just do it all yourself & prompt a step by steo guide on how to execute as a solo dev.
