How Do Startups Hire Great Talent? I quit Google to figure it out. In the past 24 months, we 3X-ed our Japan team from 10 to 30 employees. Here’s how we did it: -Engaged with 300+ people -Conducted 200+ official interviews -Hired 20+ bilingual candidates But the numbers only tell part of the story. What’s not captured above is the constant challenge of finding the right candidates, scheduling interviews across multiple time zones, involving founders to close candidates, and rejecting candidates that competitors would hire. There are no shortcuts to grinding. If this resonates with you, comment, repost, or follow me for more insights. #StartupLife #HiringTips #TalentAcquisition #RecruitmentStrategies #BilingualTalent #JapanWorkforce #TechRecruiting #GrowthHacking #TeamBuilding #LeadershipLessons #CareerJourney #StartupCulture #WorkInJapan #HRInsights #Entrepreneurship P.S.

Andrey, you are amazing
Well said Andrey! There are no shortcuts to grinding. At times, building teams for early stage start-ups feels daunting and as possible as hearing the sound of one hand clapping LOL . Until one day, when both hands are clapping :)
10 people is exactly where I’m at! Seeing this post gives me a lot of inspiration and some guidance! What a great share 🙏
Building teams from "scratch" is just another feeling altogether, congrats on your successes!
100% resonates! Have done it twice now and agree, sometimes it simply comes down to good old fashioned execution once you know what you’re doing. Kudo’s to you and the team!
Well said!
Amazing work!

3wWell said. After 10+ years of recruitment, realized there are no magic science. You just have to be patient and keep the quality bar high for each bits of interaction with stakeholders and candidates.
