1. How we hired our
first US employee
in two weeks?
Text

2. www.mention.com: 50%of our clients
in the US (GitHub, MIT, Microsoft, ...)

3. How to source, select and
hire the best candidate to join our team
ASAP?

4. We spent as little time as we could on the
job description (we’re looking for a
rockstar, not just a position to fill)

5. We posted offers on
AngelList - best place to
find awesome candidates!

6. We exchanged emails with the
100most awesome candidates

7. We called the 30most
awesome candidates once

8. We called the 10most
awesome candidates twice

9. We met the 5
most awesome candidates in person
(c’mon, NewYork is only 8 hours away from Paris)

10. We sent an offer to the 1
most awesome candidate
(just two days later.The faster, the better!)

11. Lessons learned:
* Don’t spend too much time on
job descriptions
* Leverage AngelList for sourcing
* Interview by phone a lot
* Meet just a couple of candidates in person
* Move fast
* ... (coming soon!)
