Hiring | Ep. 4 Transcript
Aaron Bai states, "Along different stages of your company, you're going to be wanting to bring on different types of folks to build that vision with you.
When your'e starting off, you probably shouldn't be hiring someone like a Head of Sales, Head of Product, Head of Design, a head of so on and so forth . . . when you haven't even figured out the strategy you want to go with. You don't know if users want to use your product yet.
You don't know where your product needs the most design work. You should be that head of sales, that head of design. You should be working on the first iteration of the product. Until you get real product market fit. Until you get real traction, you don't want to bring on a second eye. And, they're here to listen to your orders, but you have no orders to give. Waste of money, and you know, you won't be getting the best talent.
But as you grow that company. As you get folks on. That's when you should be focusing on delegating your tasks for a Head of Product. Start stepping away and focusing on that long-term strategy."
