How they work with you
Operations hires work best with a short daily check-in and a shared task board. Because they're on your hours, handovers happen in real time rather than overnight.
How hiring works
- Day 1: a 30-minute kick-off call about the role and your team.
- Days 2 to 3: we write the brief and a test built around your work.
- Days 4 to 14: we source, screen and test candidates.
- By day 15: you meet 2 to 3 people we would hire ourselves.
- Then: one final interview, you pick, and we handle the contract and pay.

Questions
Can they handle confidential founder work?+
Yes. Confidentiality agreements are standard, and you control which accounts and documents they can access.
Can one person do ops and admin together?+
Often, yes. We'll shape the brief with you so it's one realistic job.
Do they need much training?+
They're experienced, so they need context more than training. A good first-week plan matters most.
