Hiring for a startup? Finding the right candidate isn’t just about functional expertise—it's about their ability to thrive in a startup environment. Startups demand adaptability, a proactive mindset, and comfort with ambiguity. The skills that shine in large corporations may not always translate to the fast-paced, resource-constrained world of early-stage companies. When evaluating candidates, ask yourself: 👉 Have they thrived in environments of uncertainty and growth? 👉 Can they wear multiple hats with ease? 👉 Do they align with the pace of an evolving company? Hiring the right talent sets the foundation for success. Let’s make sure you’re set for the journey ahead.

Every job has an appeal to someone. But when you won’t put the effort into telling us what’s special about your role? That’s a sign we probably can’t help you. Maybe you’ve written a great job description. But does it tell us why you’re hiring? What the plans for your startup are? What would excite someone about working with your team? We hired the best people for our clients last year when we could tell the story about them as if it was our own. And we could only do that after spending quality time with the founders, understanding their origin story and their ambitions for the future. So that we could explain why someone in a good job would see this as a great move. That won’t happen if you’re just emailing us a job spec and asking if we have any good candidates. Would you rather a recruiter simply sent you a bland and boring job description and asked if you’re interested? Or tempted you to explore the role because they knew the real story?

Why work with a Fractional CMO or CRO like Marquee Project?  Beyond the obvious cost-savings, here are some seriously compelling reasons why it might make sense for your growing firm:   · Fractional CROs/CMOs can adjust their level of involvement based on your startup's changing needs, scaling hours up or down as required. This flexibility is an unparalleled way to address fluctuating demands or growth phases. · Fresh, outside perspective can help foster innovation and overcome stagnation · With extensive experience in scaling and a focus on deliverables, Fractional CROs/CMOs can quickly identify problems, implement solutions, and drive impactful changes to execute on campaigns and address pressing issues swiftly. · Hiring a Fractional CRO/CMO eliminates the need for a lengthy hiring cycle and onboarding process, allowing Marquee Project to hit the ground running from day one 🚀

Start-up hiring is a different animal because you're on the hunt for a rare breed. You’re looking for someone who thrives in chaos, adapts to rapid change, and is willing to get their hands dirty for the greater goal. Someone who can weather the storm of ambiguity and stay committed where others might falter. If you’re tasked with making these hiring decisions, you essentially need to become a detective of human behavior. Asking the tough questions that dig deep into how a person thinks, reacts, and perseveres is crucial— keeping a high bar to see if they truly hit the mark. But your job doesn’t stop there. Equally important is being transparent with candidates about the culture and challenges ahead—the good, the bad, and the ugly. As much as you’re selling the opportunity, you want to give mismatches a chance to opt out *before* you invest time and resources in onboarding. Yes, the team may be stretched, and those flashy company names and past titles might seem like a godsend—but don’t let scarcity blind you. When you leave that interview, dig deep, and think like a founder. Say it with me: if it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no. #startuplife #hiring
