Pre-IPO start-ups present interesting recruiting challenges, especially in these economic days. However, those challenges are what make recruitment consulting for start-ups interesting. The first hires of any start-up set the tone for hiring in the future. Therefore it is very important to bring an experienced contract recruiter consultant to set up the recruitment process and provide interview training to existing staff.
