If you’re looking to hire amazing talent for your startup, the timing has never been better — people around the world are seeking their next opportunity with a company just like yours. 

The global economy is going through a once-in-a-lifetime series of shifts that include an acceleration in digital commerce and [growing demand for remote work opportunities](https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/10/permanent-remote-workers-pandemic-coronavirus-covid-19-work-home). Not to mention, people are leaving popular tech hubs like San Francisco and New York to explore a more sustainable cost of living.

Given this hiring landscape, you may be wondering: 

**❓ How are you going to find the best talent available, recruit them into your hiring process, and convert them into productive employees? **

Where should you cast your net if location isn’t as important as it used to be? How do you source and hire through a lens of diversity and inclusion? How do you find high performers and convince them to leave a job that they love to join your company? 

In this startup recruiting guide, we’ll help you navigate these questions and equip you with the foundations to build a reliable (and scalable) recruiting strategy. You’ll learn how to:

- Build an effective hiring process
- Use company culture to align with prospective employees
- Write inspiring job descriptions
- Source high-performing, diverse talent

The goal of this resource is to help you establish your hiring strategy, plan the tactics, and execute your plan efficiently and effectively. Because hiring awesome candidates — bringing the right people together at the right time — can make all the difference in the success of your startup.
