Startup Hiring and Management

Early hiring and people systems that do not collapse the team's speed. Focus: first hires, clear roles, structured interviews, lightweight management cadence, and separation when needed.

When to Use

  • Planning first 1-10 hires and sequencing roles
  • Writing role scorecards and interview plans
  • Designing an interview loop and evaluating candidates consistently
  • Offers, compensation and equity basics (conceptual; align with counsel/accounting)
  • Onboarding and delegation habits
  • Installing a management cadence (1:1s, goals, feedback)
  • Performance improvement plans (PIPs) and termination process

When NOT to Use

  • Deep legal employment advice -> startup-legal-basics
  • Org design at scale (50+ people) without additional context
