Startup businesses face a unique environment when it comes to adding the talent it needs during their earliest stages of operations. Of course, hiring a few full-time employees seems wise, but if a nascent business grows too quickly, salary spend might outstrip its initial funding sources. Too many staffing-related expenses remain a leading cause of startup failure especially when considering the difficulties encountered in hiring technology professionals.
Related to that last point, even with rumors of a recession and the wide publicity of various tech layoffs, the current IT job market still greatly favors candidates. This situation makes any staffing process fraught with risk. Spending vital capital on a hiring effort that results in little success is something nascent businesses need to avoid.
