I make decisions on the same day the question comes up.

Your first ten hires are your culture. Everything after is a copy.

The hire you made because they felt like you.

The First Ten Hires is a free self-test from Coach42 for founders. You answer 14 questions, from 1 (never) to 5 (always), about your own habits: pace, candour, autonomy, craft and customer focus. You get a culture fingerprint, what each habit is teaching new hires, your strongest signal and one thing to try.
