Hiring Mobile Engineers Globally! Founder @ Mobile Natives - Dad, Recruiter and Tea loving Brit.

Tech Leaders, ask these 3 questions before making your next hire ⤵️ (If you want to save some $$!) 1️⃣ Which immediate problems would I assign to this new hire? 2️⃣ Which long-term projects would I assign to this new hire? 3️⃣ What's stopping my existing team from filling these gaps? 💡If you can identify immediate problems but no long-term projects, consider hiring a contractor. 💡If your existing team lack the right skills to fill the gaps, hire a Developer with a specific skillset and find a niche-specific Recruiter to speed up hiring. 💡If your existing team lacks the bandwidth for new projects, check that there's not a bigger issue (e.g. poor prioritization) to resolve before increasing headcount. Hiring is expensive, time-consuming, and should only be done when absolutely necessary. We've seen enough layoffs thanks to companies hiring for the sake of hiring... By asking yourself these questions, you'll avoid making unnecessary hires or will make hiring faster, cheaper, and more efficient because you'll know EXACTLY what you're looking for. #Startups #Hiring #Founders #Developers
