HIRING AND

ONBOARDING.
BEST PRACTISES. “MY TWELVE CENTS”

FOUNDER INSTITUTE
1. Hiring is the most important activity in the
company
2. Convert yourself in a top recruiter
3. Hire slowly and fire quickly
4. Set up a professional process around
hiring (all candidates are potential
embassadors and clients)
5. Make a party on the first day not on the
last day
6. Keep up the initial values, teach them and
live them; a symbol is more powerful than a
1000 words (“The door at Amazon”)
7. Invest time at the beginning and bring
people up to speed
8. You only have one chance to make a good
first impression
9. Onboarding new team members is also an
opportunity to have a fresh view
10. People Management is always a “give and
take”
11. Always better to have 5 employees with high
energy & well paíd outperformers than 10
mediocres employees
12. Try to always be a role model, not only
for new hires
