How to hire the best for your startup
summary
Advice focuses on concrete hiring actions not platitudes: use HackerRank style coding challenges to screen for real coding ability, widen the funnel beyond pedigree and anonymize resumes, and expect to invest in training with a six month onboarding simulation and periodic in‑person orientation of two weeks to a month. Measure candidates with 64 indicators of success, plan your first ten hires so you’d be comfortable if 500 more looked like them, and face the scale gap — about 1.8 million open jobs vs far fewer qualified people.
