S11E4 - Chris Martinez: How Do You Build A Bulletproof Hiring Process?

Once you raise your first growth round, or achieve a certain revenue milestone, you're likely ready to hire. Your first hire is so critically important because the wrong person can set your company back 6-9 months, potentially tank you entirely. Your next few hires carry a similar weight. We know that 9 out of 10 companies fail, and one of the top reasons for failure is 'wrong team'. That means most companies have a hiring process in place that leads them to hire the wrong people, which ultimately dooms their company. How do you be not like them? Chris Martinez, Founder & CEO of the whitelabel backend web dev company DUDE Agency, has built a process that attracts great talent, includes addressing potential failure points, and ultimately makes sure the person coming on is a 10/10 by their standards. This is a really good conversation where he walks through their exact hiring process for other companies like you to borrow and tweak. He also shares some powerful backstory around his upbringing that you won't want to miss.
