This article is arguing strongly for the core value of the recruiter - time saving. True that founders must spend time recruiting, but this person has essentially turned the job of company founder into the job of recruiter. Founders should have better things to do than make the incredible time commitment this person describes. OK recruiters cost money, but isn't the founder's time worth something? >> I’ve had coffees or breakfasts with probably hundreds of candidates. This is not how to do recruiting, it's wasteful of the recruiter and the job seekers time. The first interview should be a phone interview and it should be sufficiently detailed that any in person meeting coming out of it appears to meet many of the requirements. If you are doing hundreds of coffee meetings then you're wasting vast amount of time. It may sound trivial but the denim thing is signalling "young".
