Hiring – The Most Important Thing in Business

What
Who
How

Focus on the who and they will build the company.

Seth Godin – only work with people on projects before hiring them.

5 Questions – learn from experience which is the best indicator
1) What were you hired to do
2) What was your biggest achievement
3) What was your biggest issue?
4) What would your manager have said about you
5) Why did you leave?

Reference checks
– Ask through their strengths and references and their key areas to work on and their ideal role and if they would hire them again
– And ratings for different things

I disagree with the hire slow fire fast thing.

I think it should be focused more on optimising the process.

1) Hire excellently – get the hiring process awesome first,
2) Hire excellently as fast as possible – then make that process much better.
