Hello people, We are building a recruitment platform to make hiring easy and fun. Having worked with a recruitment startup, we weren't able to hire for our own team. Hire first, fire faster mode ON tha humara.
So, we found this gap mostly in the early stage startups who don't invest in their recruitment properly.
So can you guys please share your experiences with landing a job with early stage startups.
I'm interested in understanding how to measure candidates interest. As many candidates drop during the process. I want to know more about the triggers to drop from a hiring process.
Post covid there has been a lot of spike and from the surface it looks like a CTC game but I want to know what's beyond the salary game.
Reasons for dropping out / rejecting offer for me are -
Your interviewer takes your resume, and asks questions around what you have done and what you know. This is the interviewer who's coming in with the mindset to hire you! They are trying to find reasons on why you are right for them. These are the companies I tend to give interviews to!
The interviewer may or may not collect your resume. They won't give a fuck about it. They will ask questions on what they know, what they feel like asking, like specific nittigritties of some thing they would've seen in their life. Then evaluate you based on it. They come up to rounds with mindset of rejecting you. To find why you aren't right for them. I tend to stay away from these interviewers, no matter how much they are ready to pay!
Interesting thought. Curious, how are you planning to do this.
By prioritizing candidate experience over anything else. We are trying our best to build a transparent and equitable platform.
Hey @ClearQuit26 , I don't think experiences would help you. Each early stage startup doesn't really have a set of process to follow, so everyone would have different unique experiences.
How about you define it in a better way?
Come back with answers to these and maybe then it would be a more refined thought which people might reply to
Have worked in the hiring space
What type of people are you planning to get placed?
Hey would love to get some insights from you. Our platform will be able to hire candidates for all roles. As we are sourcing profiles from across the web.
My reading is @Bornkiller may be suggesting to start with specific type of roles. Else one can try boil the ocean to no avail.
Early stage startups are dogshit w.r.t to employment policies, HR is non existent or just being a lapdog of management, lala company antics at best
Early stage startups don't emphasis a lot on talent. The HR is the less prioritized unit and still they look to build the best team.
