During the hiring process, the best thing for start-ups is to employ people who buy into the company's visions and values and are just as passionate about the goal as the founder(s). This simple common ground helps in shared motivations, faster integration, and increased productivity. Once the organization expands, it becomes more difficult to "convert" workers. How then do you acquire this dream team?
