Entrepreneur Tools

This is a series, within Startuprad.io’s podcast and YouTube blog. We meet a lot of people and of course, we talk with some of them about the typical entrepreneur problems. Sometimes an entrepreneur solves known problems in a very systematic way or can help us to find solutions to typical entrepreneurs’ problems. We will talk to him or her and bring you these recordings as entrepreneur tools. We are looking forward to your feedback.

Here is a little warp-up: The headhunter must:

Understand the company and the values of the company
Know what technical skill is required for the role
Understand the incentive structure of the company hiring
Get familiar with the legal restrictions for an employment contract
Set up a hiring process (this step may also be at #7, depending on your CTO and his/her network).
What are you testing for
How do you test it for
How do you measure it
Use the network of your CTO to build the tech team
When the tech team gets larger, you need to rely on a headhunter at one point
