Hiring great talent for your startup

So you're building the next big company and want to hire the best talent for your startup.

What do you do ?

1.) Don't hire your friends

(unless they are top 1% in the world at what they do)

2.) Work on your story

The story is the soul of your company.

Instead of having candidates pitch you,

you should pitch the candidates why they should work for you.

Here's a startup pitch by Rippling, which I really like.

https://sauraav.xyz/signed/https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fsecure.notion-static.com%2Fe4a332fc-8677-4b04-bc13-3f3dccb0d156%2FRippling_Candidate_Pitch.pdf?table=block&id=5c6f63b3-70ab-4872-b855-f5e07418b80d&name=Rippling%20Candidate%20Pitch.pdf&cache=v2

It lays out clearly what the startup does,

what's its story,

why it is on a breakout trajectory,

and most importantly why anyone should would bother working there

All the best
