Hiring on gut, regretting?
Startups hire on gut feeling yearly. Mis-hires cost quarters.
1. The problem
Tiny startups hire on gut feeling with mis-hires costing quarters. Interviews ramble unstructured. Signals never get defined. References go unchecked. The hardest part is structured prediction simply. A feeling might charm falsely. That uncertainty makes it hard to hire predictably.
“Gut hires misfire yearly here. I need signal scorecards with structured interviews.”
2. What exists
Workable, Ashby and memory hire teams, while mis-hires cost quarters. Tools serve larger teams. A memory might bias warmly. There is little help with signal-defined scorecards plus structured interviews for founders.
3. The solution
The solution could be a hire-well engine. It could define signals per role upfront. It could score interviews consistently. References could verify specifically. The goal would be teams built to last.
