Startups: Team

Question

Startups

Well, for example. I came up with a project. I need the full command:

1. Coder (2 people)
2. PR manager
3. Support Organizer

I want to recruit a reliable team (so that no one dumps me), but from my friends I can only recruit coders. But where else can you get a PR manager and a User Support Organizer? I do not want to take anyone from the street, but someone more or less reliable.

How to solve the problem?

PS The question is not mine. It was sent to me by a friend, he organizes a web project.

Answer 1

1. Look at the experience (with what people personally worked and what they achieved).
2. The main thing: check in work (expiry date).
It may be that people a good specialist, but in poor conditions he will not be able to work. I came across one like this. Now, if they prepared a delicious dinner for him + organized a dispute. hall + insurance for all family members - would work 200%. And in poor conditions it will “stick out”.

Answer 2

On the Internet, no one can give you guarantees that you will not be thrown. Just talk to the candidate in advance. Judge how soberly he thinks and whether he is chasing the stars. There is a category in which words and deeds diverge greatly, but at the same time their CVV is huge. When recruiting without seeing the candidates in the eyes, you need to have not only a good flair, but also luck.
And yes, I would not advise taking the same coders among friends . This could turn into a very big problem in the future. If you still want to take a friend because they promised him a place in the friendship project (which is already a mistake), then do not put them in charge. In fact, friendship is friendship, and business and work cannot be involved in this.

Answer 3

Look in the communities - give information there (for example, in PR communities). Write an ad on social networks - it can give an unexpected positive result.
