This was posted yesterday - but not to worry - it deserves a bit more attention although it might be a bit long for some folks.

  "... it deserves a bit more attention although ..." Agreed it is worth the read. Evaluating who is best for particular tasks seems to revolve around simulated stress and rigorously tested 'competency'. Not an easy thing to simulate in Startups.

    Agreed. The suggestion is (and this does not differ widely from my all too long experience in such matters) that the only valid evaluation is "How does someone perform in the job?" Is it therefore implied that we should hire on criteria that is not task specific (like will someone's personality fit in with the team) and then be prepared to fire them quickly if they don't work out? The problem is that hiring is a lengthy process - we are all adverse to the idea of it becoming a continual process.
