Why should a startup crypto project use a recruiter?

I consider myself pretty handy. If something breaks in my house, I try to fix it. If there’s a leak, I’ll patch it.

However, I understand that some jobs require a particular level of skill and experience, and if I don’t have it I have no hesitation in hiring someone that does. A pipe bursts and my house is flooding? I’m bypassing my tool bag and going straight to a plumber.

In my eyes, the reason for doing this is pretty obvious; they’ll do the repair better, faster, and more efficiently than I can, and as a side-bonus I get to avoid spending my time knee-deep in water. Yes, I’ll end up paying for the work, but considering this is something I’ll literally be living with for years to come that’s a price I’m more than happy to bear.

Now, what confuses me is this; why do some people not apply the exact same logic to their business? If I’m a developer for example, and my skillset is with code, why would I spend my time focusing on recruitment? If making intelligent, focused hires is outside my area of expertise, why would I not hire someone specialised in the task to do it for me?

I’m particularly baffled when this happens with start-ups; your company/project is at its most vulnerable, every decision could make or break you, and every person you bring into the fold will impact and shape your business for years to come… but you want to divert your time and attention from doing what you do best and instead spend it focusing on recruitment? So you can what, save a bit of money?

That’s insane!

Even if you have a hiring team in-house, it’s still worth investigating outside help. Finding quality candidates is tough, competition is fierce, and as a start-up you have to recognise that people who sign on with you are essentially choosing to take a risk that they don’t really have to (if a prospective new hire has great potential for you, you can bet they’d also do pretty great with someone else who’s already well-established and stable). Also keep in mind that forming a close relationship with your recruiter will set them on a path to selling your business as to the reasons why a candidate should choose you over the other opportunities they have. This part of the process while it would seem obvious is key to getting the right candidates in front of you.
