Sobre este episodio
Hiring is one of the biggest challenges every company faces. For bootstrapped startups, this challenge is even bigger as we have to compete against funded companies and tech giants.
Part of building a startup is trial and error, throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. Hiring is no different - it’s a learning process that can sometimes get expensive if you don’t “fire fast”.
On this episode, Melissa and Todd dives into their 5 most costly hiring mistakes, what happened, and what they learned from each experience that helps them better define job requirements and run interviews in the future.
Takeaways:
• The profile of people startups should never hire
• Why marketing agencies can’t take a company from 0-to-1
• When dev shops make sense (and when they don’t)
• What “firing fast” means and why it matters for startups
• Hard lessons we learned about hiring and firing
