HIRING : Best Employee for startUps

Enterprises  reach new heights  and impact by pursuing higher goals and  recruiting  competent hands to match.  However, not all employees are suitable for a startup. Some employees are ideal for the traditional organizations but not fit for the peculiarities that characterize a start up. The best employees for startups meet certain basic requirements and here are some of them: 

Multskilled: 

 Startups wear many hats in their business. They serve as the manager,the accountant,the front desk officer and marketer at different times in their business journey. The most valuable  employee for a startup is a utility employee. Someone that possesses multiple skills and is capable of executing diverse key tasks with an appreciable level of competence.

Commitment:

The  average startup according to experts takes at least five years to break even and begin to reap some rewards of his consistent hard work. A start up requires an employee who  is ready for a long term commitment.  Someone who has a strong conviction of the future of the business and is willing to be a part of that  future .  Start-ups do not need people who are  just passing through. He needs someone who is ready to sign up for  a quick paced  and longer hours work. 

Values 

Value is one of the key drivers of  business success. The employees suitable for startups  are the ones whose personal values align with that of the business.. People whose values are  not consistent with the startup's are out of character with the business and should never be hired.   Values such as integrity are critical for a startup success and employees who have personal struggles with honesty are bad for the business. Values are the building block of organization culture.

Creativity.

Great brands are  products of  great imagination. When a startup surrounds him or herself with creative people innovation and success becomes inevitable. An Employee who easily comes up with new and original insights on what should be done ,when and how it should be done is  great  for a startup. Finding and keeping such a person is the most important recipe for outstanding success. Competition out there is fierce and a creative staff would be advantageous  especially for a startup. A creative employee is open minded to new ideas, seeks new ways of solving old problems and is willing to share  personal thoughts,ideas and insight with the rest of the team. 

Coach

The path of the startup is often uncharted . Experience and knowledge sharing in this regard is a powerful instrument of growth . It enhances efficiency and effectiveness. An employee that is capable and willing to  guide  and mentor other team members from his wealth of experience is a good candidate to hire . Great employees acknowledge that significant success is founded on teamwork so they coach and mentor those around them to improve the quality of their input. They understand that knowledge is power only when it’s shared with others. 

Hungry: 

Passion  travels farther than  competence. It is the fuel of accomplishment. The ways of a startup is full of turbulence.  Whoever that would work with him must be ethically strong and  passionate about results.. Someone who is willing to pay the price for group success. Such a person is what every startup needs to make significant progress.
