“We WILL be there with you every step of the way.” 

• Use Outsiders to Interview. People are often too anxious to bring on resources to be objective about a candidate. Ask a colleague or advisor who has little to do with your business, but plenty of business knowledge, to interview finalists.They are much more likely to be objective than you are.
• Hire for Your Phase of Growth. It’s important to adjust recruiting to your startup’s size or phase of growth: hire energetic generalists in your early days, build a recruiting team as you grow, target and hire specialists with your now-sophisticated recruitment team, and build a culture of recruiting to keep a full hiring pipeline once you’ve matured. An employee who helps you hustle through your early days isn’t always right for your later-stage startup years later.
• Be Wary of Strategists. Thinking is easy, executing is hard. As careers advance, fewer people choose to remain in an execution role and steer towards “strategy” and “strategic thinking.” When you hire experienced people, make sure you ask them, “Tell me about your desire to build process and structure, and also execute it.” If they answer, “I am willing to get my hands dirty,” move on. If they say, “I love building businesses” or “I love watching a team gel,” consider them. You need people who “love to” work, not ones that are “willing to” get their hands dirty.
• Keep an Open Mind. Put your gut and instincts aside and give an equal chance to everyone. You may already have a more or less clear picture in your head of how the employee should ideally look and where should they come from, which makes you subconsciously play down the candidates who don’t exactly fit into this mental blueprint, be it their background, experience or approach to your company’s ideas. Give everyone an equal space to present their skills, and maybe you’ll be surprised by the person who’ll end up sitting in that chair.
