When building a startup thinking about the talent you bring in to your business and your Employee Value Proposition is probably one of the furthest things from your mind.

But bringing in the best (and most flexible) talent can be the difference on whether your business thrives or survives.

On the podcast this week Nyree Trimbel spoke to Ruby Melling, founder of Talentloop about the importance of being strategic about the talent you bring in to your business, and why there's no such thing as 'too soon'

How to hire well
Working out what you need vs what you want
Retaining great staff
Staying competitive on a startup budget

If you're looking at building a team alongside your business this is an episode you can't afford to miss.
