When you have something to offer to your prospective hire.
If you're offering valuable experience or actual pay then I don't see how it could be too early. On the other hand if you just want someone to clean up after you and restock the soap dispenser maybe you should be looking at outsourcing or hiring pwrmanent talent instead.
- rockyperezz 3y agoI second the comment by zelon88. It's never too early if you have things in place to hire and retain the talent you are looking for (i.e., budget/other form of accepted compensation, a strategy/tasks to delegate, availability in the initial phase to train & brief your new hire on what you expect from them/overall vision/key metrics you'll be evaluating their performance on, etc.). When the best time is = when you got enough resources + when your startup is at a stage where you can no longer do everything yourself. Can't also expect an intern to have the best of CVs & experience so the job scope has to be limited in that regard. If you treat them well, they can be great brand advocates or even stay/recommend other potential hires. If not, the possible negative word-of-mouth or subpar performance could make hiring more detrimental than beneficial.
