If you're at a point where it's actually hiring and not 'talking some one into spec work by calling them a founder' some one has to answer phones, schedule appointments, file old shit, start looking through health plans, make sure bills get paid etc. It can be you, or you can work on your product.
'part time secretary needed, light admin duties, possibility of position growing to full time' is a completely normal job ad. Any temp agency in any city you happen to be in can give a hundred applicants if you're hesitant about hiring someone too early.
- jorgemf 10y agoIf you are 2-3 on your team and you feel you need someone to care about all those things, something is wrong in your company (for most companies). You probably receive a phone call and a couple of emails a day for customer support or other things, and probably don't have so many bills to pay. So you don't need someone full time or part time for this, unless you are a special case that need 4-5 meetings a day with different people.
- andrewflnr 10y ago> probably receive a phone call and a couple of emails a day I'm not sure if this is too optimistic or too pessimistic, but I definitely don't buy it in general. Founders want to be building the product and talking to users. I can only imagine there's all kind of other crap that would be smart to hire someone to take care of.
