I love hiring but wouldn't want to do it full-time. First is understanding our team needs and how the person will become successful - what special skills this new person will need to thrive - what their 30,60, 90 will look like - how will they be onboarded...

As we've grown knowing when to hire and what to hire for has developed in to a valuable skillset. I believe in: - doing the job yourself before hiring for it - hiring for established skills over potential (prioritizing floors vs ceilings)

It's hard to beat that feeling of getting the right person on your boat. All boils down to: - Clear definition of the role - Sourcing and vetting the applicants - Running a repeatable process - On-boarding and training

I bring all this up because it's one of the most common things I get asked about by other founders. So I hope it helps people build their own framework of hiring
