Founders: how involved are you in decisions to interview or hire?

Sr. Legal Counsel with Valora, Inc. 


Casts are personal, not the views of Valora.  

I’ve been the first hiring manager 3x times - founders do not know what they want. Department leads don’t know what they want. 

I usually recommend 3 stages: me as screener, then technical (departmental heads) then founders. 

My goal is to reduce the time interviewing for all parties

they/them, candlemaker at 🕯️humankind🕯️, seemore.tv/humankind, hosting /samantha and /humankind

i hadn’t thought of this, viz. founders/leads aren’t clear on their goals. (i likely should have but didn’t correct for my sources including Founders on pods speaking eloquently of goals.)
