Overview: A look into the strategies we use for recruiting the best people and tips to formulate your market when selling any sort of product.

Description:
In this, episode 2 of the Interspire podcast, I take a look at some of the strategies we’ve developed over the last 6 years to identify the best candidates during the interview process. At the surface level you might think it’s easy to recruit based on a candidates past experience, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ll also touch on identifying your market and formulating a business plan that focuses specifically on one geographic region only and I’ll discuss my reasoning for that approach in the context of how we launched BigCommerce.
