Great article, thanks a lot, lots of super helpful advice!
I like the part about the difference between a founding team member and the employee number 1000.
Note: I got curious about the Bolivian people study, and it looks like the conclusion is the opposite of what you're mentioning: the Big-5 model isn't replicable with them. I don't think it changes much, I feel like all of these models are imperfect, and to take with a pinch of salt, but they can still be helpful to get more information on people and their personality.
I couldn’t agree more. As the co-founder of a company that builds nearshore teams for startups, I have never seen a company not persevere when they put hiring as their top strategic priority.
I like the DNA analogy for hiring people!

But you might want to edit your reference :)
A founding engineer is an investor, so --- ISO smart, aligned, but naive? I love the honesty.
I appreciate the tactical advice...thanks.
