Hiring employees forms a very important aspect of running a startup company. Unlike in the Corporates, money is limited in a Startup and every rupee that you invest in hiring a new employee ought to give you returns. These slides contain a few things that you need to keep in mind when you decide to hire.

1. Hiring Employees in your Startup

2. Startups usually have not more than 3
members as founder members.
Things might go on smoothly in the initial
months when there isn’t much work and
each one of them could look at the various
aspects of running a Startup.
But as the Startup starts growing bigger
and both work and clients start
increasing, you’ll need to start hiring

3. Going to Hire: Careful
Unlike in the Corporates, money is limited
in a Startup and every rupee you spend in
hiring and paying employees should give
you the best returns.
The slides that follow give you a checklist
of things that you need to keep in mind
before you start hiring in your startup.

4. The Validation
Since you are hiring for the first
time, getting your hire validated by
your mentors, be it your investors or
your former employer would do you
good.

5. Jumping guys don’t last long
Make sure you look at the earlier track
record of the person you’re hiring. If
he has jumped from companies too
often you might as well not hire
him/her.

6. The Non-Corporate Guy
Most of the people who you find prospective for
hiring are from the Corporate Sector. Unlike in
the Corporates, work structure isn’t rigid in
Startups and preference might be given to those
who have had an experience in the Startup
atmosphere. They would find it easy to
acclimatize with the work structure at the
Startup

7. The Get Along Factor
Since an employer in a Startup has to don
many roles at once, you need to work in
conjunction with all the teams in the
company.
Make sure you new hire gets along well
with the rest of your team in the Startup.
