Hiring for Range, Not Titles.
Why Titles Don’t Matter
A CV full of titles doesn’t guarantee impact. At this stage, curiosity, flexibility, and willingness to learn matter far more than pedigree or past roles.
Three Hats, One Hire
Your first hires should be able to:
- Execute tasks efficiently
- Identify problems and propose solutions
- Influence and align the team
They don’t need to be perfect at all three - they need to thrive wearing the three hats.
Mindset Over Experience
Adaptability and bias to action are key.
Early hires often fill gaps and take on roles that don’t exist yet. Look for people who move fast and learn fast.
Why It Matters
Your first hires shape culture, processes, and pace.
Hiring for range ensures speed and momentum.
