OPUS Events

Hiring your first few team members is one of the most important - and risky - moves you’ll make as a founder. Get it right, and the right hire will fast-forward your startup. Get it wrong, and it’ll drain your time, money and momentum.

This hands-on session is designed for founders who want to take hiring from gut feel to strategic asset. Whether you’re hiring now or planning ahead, you’ll learn how to:

· Avoid the hiring traps that stall early-stage startups

· Design roles that actually move the needle

· Spot the difference between a good candidate and a great hire

· Build a repeatable system without turning into HR

Walk away with practical tools, a sharper mindset—and a framework you’ll use again and again.
