In our early days we did every part of recruitment ourselves. We rushed a hire, skipped reference checks, and learned the hard way that the wrong culture fit can cost time, money, and momentum. Those mistakes forced us to rethink how we hire, lead, and protect the business.
We break down the playbook we use now: clear position descriptions, capability frameworks, and real feedback cycles. How to track time and performance so projects stay profitable. Why culture and values need to lead every hire. What to lock into your contracts to protect your IP and team. When to bring in HR, legal, and industry recruiters. Plus how to interview for leadership by hiring people smarter than you, and what candidates can do to stand out for the right reasons.
