“As a serial founder, I’ve learned (the hard way!), you have to be strategic about who you hire and lean into smart HR hiring practices. If you hire one bad apple, it changes team dynamics and impacts how fast you can run as a startup. It only takes one bad hire to trip everyone up and slow the team down.”
