Should a start-up wait until it finds the perfect team?
Should a start-up wait until it finds the perfect development team, or should it just hire whoever is available and try to manage it along?
I am working on an idea now, and I've interviewed a couple of devs for it. In general, resumes I have received have been good and the candidates have been okay, but they are not my dream team.
I know a couple of developers locally who I would love to have on my team. They get it, they're self motivating, and they are fun to work with. However, they are fully employed and risk averse. Should I give up my dream of finding the perfect team and just hire based on availability and price?
- dutchrapley 16y agoI can't speak from personal experience, so I'm not going to offer advice based on my experience. But, do listen to the Mixergy interview with Jason Jacobs of RunKeeper -http://mixergy.com/runkeeper-jason-jacobs-interview/ http://mixergy.com/runkeeper-jason-jacobs-interview/ - he started working with contractors. There's some real pearls of wisdom in there.
