Hire Ready: What Every Founder-Led Company Must Do, Say And Show Before They Hire A Single Person

Most founders don't have a hiring process. They have a breaking point.

Hire Ready is the book that should have existed before you ever wrote a job ad. Built from 27 years of placing people into founder-led, bootstrapped teams, it covers everything that happens before the hiring process starts - the internal work most founders skip, the online presence most founders ignore, and the conversations most founders have never had with themselves.

Not all hiring is born equal. Recruiting into a bootstrapped team of eight is a completely different discipline from hiring for a fifty-person company with a structured onboarding programme. The stakes are different. The resources are different. Your relationship to every single hire is different.

This book was written for founders who build with real money, real risk and no safety net. And who want to get it right.
