👋 Six points to keep in mind while #Onboarding a developer for your #startup ... 🏹

A thread ...

💭 Cut down all the buzz words -> The "passionate/world-class/awesome/ninja/guru/..."
👓 Good clarity on what is needed -> #Programmer? #Designer? UI-person? What level of expertise? Why an expert? Why Rails/Node/PHP? How much work is already done? Tried freelancers? Why not? Need relocation? Why? Why not work from home? Why hiring at all?
🙋‍♂️ Decent clarity on the business at hand -> Done the market research? What's the economics? Competitors? Whats the execution timeline? Selling plan?

💲 Equity means very little -> Many top edge programmers explicitly state they don't want any.
💰 Salary -> Works better if the thought-process, constraints, and opportunities are mentioned upfront [We have got an investment of Rs.X, can only pay Rs.Y, but there is a bonus of Rs. Z if things work out well].

💻 Tech challenges don't matter much -> Most moderate+ programmers have side projects hey work on for tech-gratification.
