| How startups attract and successfully hire talent | Where do I find and how do I hire world class talent when the company is an unfunded startup? For any one of the audiences the entrepreneur will be selling to: Investors, Suppliers, and prospective employees, a compelling and well articulated business case is pivotal. Clearly articulate the vision and why the business can be successful. Most top talent will be already employeed and quite successful in their current position. For this reason, an outside board direcor or retained recruiter can start a dialogue with these top talent candidates. Recruit many more fully qualified applicants than the open position requires to ensure you have 3-4 finalist candidates to choose from. Investigate using TopGrading for your hiring process. Remember that a top performer is 3 times more valuable than a good performer. Finally the simplicity and clarity of the business vision and plan will be crucial for recruiting top talent. Make sure yours is ready before approaching key hires. | | |
