I was featured on Read Write Web about the hiring process. I’ve hired a lot of people though-out my life. I’ve learned the hard way that hiring the best talent is key to making your business run. Yes, you might lose them. Yes, they will leave you at some point. But none of that should stop you from hiring the best talent on the planet.
Here is what I said:
Hire Up
You need to hire someone in the space that you’re entering in the beginning. They should be able to tell you what’s going on in the industry, what events you should be going to and have a lot of contacts to be able to push your business to the next level. Pay attention to the leaders in the space on LinkedIn, see if they have recently left their job or reach out to them to see if they are interested in leaving their current job.
