The line you quoted stood out for me most. It does seem like a tall order. Does networking work better (than hiring a recruiter) when recruiting for startups?

The line you quoted stood out for me most. It does seem like a tall order.
Does networking work better (than hiring a recruiter) when recruiting for startups? Do you come to places like HN to build relationships?
It seems you'd have to win people over 1-to-1 -- get them to believe in your vision and culture enough that they'd join you, in spite of all the risk -- which takes time and energy (both worth it) as well as a keen understanding of where to go to find dream talent (tough).
- philco 15y agoData suggests that close to 60% of all skilled $90k+ jobs are found through networking.
