• Hiring Top Talent for Your Startup: A Step-by-Step Guide

• Two resources for hiring and attracting top talent

• Three tools to help you build an A-team

On June 15, 2005, it was a sunny afternoon.

The wind was cool, and the sky was a bright blue.

Some people disagreed, but that day had a sweet smell like cotton candy.

From far away, you could tell that Sarah liked things to be simple.

Every day, she would wear a nice shirt and leggings. Sarah had a special love for simplicity and was fascinated by lights.

She would spend a long time looking at the sky, trying to find patterns and connections between the clouds.

Her team of ten people really admired her because she was genuine and found joy in the little things.

But Sarah had a strong desire for something bigger.

She had big dreams and wanted to turn her business into a trillion-dollar company one day.

At that time, she had a small team of about ten people, but her goal was to build a big business that was as successful as the best ones in the world.

To reach that goal, she needed to find the most talented people in the industry.

She needed people who not only had the right qualifications but also had the qualities that could make the company successful.

Sarah liked to call it "The Apple Way."

But how was she going to achieve this?

Sarah focused on three main things:

1. Finding the Best People:

Sarah made it a priority to attract and hire the most talented people in the industry.

She wanted to find individuals who not only had the right qualifications on paper but also had the skills and qualities needed to make the company grow.

2. Choosing the Right People:

Sarah created a tough process to pick the best candidates.

This included asking them the right and tailored questions in interviews, looking at their previous work, and giving them tests.

The goal was to make sure they had the right knowledge, fit in with the company's culture and could be successful in the long run.

3. Helping People Grow:

Sarah understood that it was important to help her team members develop and learn.

She gave them chances to improve their skills, had mentors to guide them, and made sure they stayed up-to-date with new things happening in the industry.

By doing these three things, Sarah made her dream come true.

She knew that building an amazing team meant doing more than looking at their qualifications.

Sarah created a team that worked well and helped her turn her dreams into reality.

All she needed was to think deeply, have a friend who could keep her accountable, and, of course, a dream.
