In the exuberance of adding people, it’s common to see entrepreneurs make avoidable missteps. No hiring strategy is foolproof, but entrepreneurs can build the right team by avoiding these common mistakes: 1. Failing to achieve a cultural fit. 2. Not thoroughly verifying each potential hire’s background and expertise. 3. Hiring people who are functionally or personality-wise too much like you. 4. Underestimating how long it takes to find the right new hire, regardless of the job. If you move in a hurry, it’s guaranteed that you will make a mistake... Post jobs six to 12 months before you are ready to hire. 5. Waiting too long to correct a mistake.
