How to Hire in a Startup Business

When you're just starting your business, you most likely lack the fund necessary to attract world-class talent. If building a business then begins with getting the best people on your bus, how then do you build a startup business? Simple: look for potential. That is, look for the "quiet, yet-to-be-discovered stars." One, they won't break your bank account. Two, it's likely you'll get much better bank-for-your-buck. And most importantly, three, you'll find enthusiastic stars who are motivated to show the world what they can contribute. Says Bohdan Associates's Peter Zacharkiw, "I never hired experienced people, and there are very few college graduates here. My vice president of sales was the best curb painter around -- but that's the secret. He'll always be the best at what he does. Personality and common sense are the most important things that people here have." When you're looking to hire hidden stars, get those who seek excellence in everything they do. Once you can fill up as many of these people in your your startup business, you're company will be destined for great potential ahead.
