Takeaway: Establishing a startup is a very tough task, but recruiting the right employees for it can be tougher. Many people are still hesitant about working in startups because of the old conventional thinking of getting job security.
Working in startups can require you to do more hard work than usual, but it's more rewarding than you can ever think! It provides you exposure to various people working in the industry at different levels and helps you gain knowledge about the various skills required to survive in the industry.
Data show that teams are more likely to build successful startups than founders alone. You need a team or a person with consistent skills, especially if you start and work your part-time job.
Who should I hire? When do I hire first? And how do I manage the team and monitor progress? Those are the three most important questions for first-time beginners. This time of collaboration will allow you to get to know the person professionally and personally.

Why do startups face difficulties during the hiring process?
1. Pressure to start working
The first phase of a business always requires significant costs depending on infrastructure, machinery, equipment, and basic business needs. Heavy cash outflows increase the pressure to start working too fast. While startups usually do not have designated staff or existing staff who can make money in one call.
To recoup the original costs, small business owners make hasty decisions when hiring employees. They avoid long-term loss with short-term acquisition and lead to an organization looking for a complete fiasco.
2. Lack of employment experience
To avoid large salary burdens, small startups do not invest in a complete HR department, and people from finance or operations take on the HR Manager's additional responsibility. Thus a lack of experience in a particular domain and a shared focus diverts initiatives from systematic selection processes and hires people mainly with reference.
3. Negative communication skills
Lack of knowledge in the HR sector influences decision-making, and while negotiating for candidates, employers in the first organizations encounter problems when negotiating salary and what to do. Sometimes they have agreed to offer a higher salary than the market value.
Sometimes, they have made an effort to negotiate unnecessarily with candidates who will better suit the organization's needs. Besides, they feel intimidated by hiring an HR consulting company, and once they have hired a company, they want immediate results. Improper negotiation skills keep the right people and provide an easy entry for candidates.
4. Lack of clarity about organizational culture
Successful employers always have a clear idea of the company's culture, and they employ people who can easily adapt and adapt to established or desirable cultures. Such employers promote their company's culture in all communication forms, especially in matters relating to hiring and selection.
Being clear about the organization's culture helps the employer and employee to understand each other. The candidate knows in advance what makes the workplace special and why he or she should accept or reject the offer. On the other hand, a culturally incapable person may not be able to keep up with the organization and its people over time.
