So how did you decide to hire your first employee?

Question

Wondering when do you think is the time to hire your first employee and what is the process!

Accepted Answer

They were referred to me by a friend. I was looking for someone to help me with the daily operations so I'd say they were more like a personal assistant. They were really useful as we continued to grow as they ended up training most of the other employees.

Great question. We decided to hire the first employee after acquiring the first customer. The sequence we've followed, at least so far: idea -> customer -> product -> revenue -> hiring

@cody_rawles I totally see the importance of the personal assistant kind of role at the beginning to establish a relationship, so that the other person gets to understand the way you work and company's values through you.
