Offer market pay. "Smart" people are smart enough to know their value, and unless you're looking for a cofounder you need to pay properly.
If that's met, just do some advertising - I've found LinkedIn is useless, indeed.com gave better candidates, I'd try other "real" job sites like that.
Depending on your needs, consider part time as well which may be more attractive to some people.
One thing I did that worked was call my former university professors, they may know good fresh grades, postdocs etc.
- nerder92 3y agoI'd avoid part-time as at this time we are looking for very committed ppl that can help us doing the 0 to 1. We have a product with users and paying customers but we still need to find explosive PMF. I'm trying LinkedIn and i'm impressed by the amount of application I've received so far

One traditional way to buy commitment is via equity. But since you also have investors, that might be a tough balancing act. I'm curious what other approaches could work. Also, is there a viable path forward even without high commitment? E.g., can the work be structured in a manner that's resilient to occasional churn in this role?
