Startup Problems

• Not enough budget• One or two projects in Hand• Not enough person to do interview and even

the founder doesn’t have enough knowledge to judge a person.

Start up process

• What you should not do?– Talk to friends if they are willing to work and they

don’t have a job we ask them to come– No machine test normally even if there is a

machine test, if they score min we hire them as we give only less salary.

– We are afraid to ask for commitment

higher studies• Poly– Going for MCA, Btech– But their ambitions are relatively lower.

Selection (Test and Interview)

• Machine test is mandatory• Ask questions on what you want him to do and not

what he might know. Don’t think that we can teach him everything and he will be a good resource. At least he must know 50 % of what you are planning to do. Take one day out for initial hiring.

• Whoever attends interview must know why he was not selected. Very difficult and someone might even ask if you don’t want to hire that is OK don’t come to teach me.
