I was very obsessed with hiring great people for my company. The last two of my startups failed pretty much because of having a bad team, ignoring things about people at the start. I’m trying to solve this problem. If you have faced this in your work, it would be very helpful if you could help me shape a solution for this. Its pretty obvious for the first few people : hire friends, or friends of friends or through personal referrals. But things start taking a different turns after a point of like a series A or seed round when you start hiring rapidly to scale operations. Controlling the quality of people becomes a problem. And not doing that leads to a sinking ship. I talked to a few people. I realised that companies find it hard to find great people, remove the noise from the process and finally hire the right ones.
