Startup Considerations When Hiring Employees

When deciding to run fast, one of the things to avoid is the stumbling block that might make us fall. Likewise, when it comes to running a startup and deciding to get growth right away, one of the stumbling blocks may be a mismatched team member. The factors that make this unsuitable are not only a matter of ability or competence, work rhythm, vision and ambition have a big enough role. Caution is needed in the recruitment process to avoid this and it takes a lot of consideration. Not just intuition during the interview process.

In contrast to well-known companies, to get the best talent, startups not only offer the best salary, but also a good vision and work culture. By introducing a work culture and displaying a business vision, the motivation is not only money but also the achievement of a shared vision and mission.

Employing those who are full  passion

Phrase passion which can mean passionate or passionate passion or even pleasure when doing something can be the first key in the process of selecting employees. Maybe not everyone shows clearly and clearly their passion, the job of recruiters is to find out and dig deeper.

Not everyone who doesn't have passion means that it can't work well, it's just that startups at the beginning need enthusiasm and excitement in working for new employees to keep the pace on the right track. Because passion in work not only pumps personal productivity but is also able to spread to all team members. Isn't a passionate and confident team a good asset for startups in the early stages?

Have a desire to grow and be able to work in a team

It is common knowledge that the candidates that companies are looking for are those who are able to develop individually and then be able to have an effect on the company as well as those who are able to be part of a team, simply able to work with a team. This condition can also be an indicator if a startup wants to recruit new team members.

Having this desire to develop is closely related to passion. One of the visible characteristics of prospective candidates who are eager to develop are those who do not hesitate to innovate and learn. One of the points in itself is finding employees who are able to explore their own potential and develop themselves along with business growth.

Meanwhile, one of the criteria in terms of being able to work with a team is the ability to communicate. If you conduct a series of tests or exams on candidate employees, the aspect that must exist is to test how they communicate. This ability plays an important role in being able to help him get into the rhythm of work into the existing team.

Considering those who are also users

Startups are digital products that have the potential to be easily recognized by the public because of their usefulness. In the process of finding new employees or team members, one that might be considered is those who also use your product or know your business as a user.

This illustrates two things. First, they pay attention to existing products so that they are able to identify product deficiencies from the user's side, secondly, employees who are also users are interested in contributing and developing products to be even better.
