We have seen articles about hiring A candidates,
who in turn hire A guys or A+ guys. If you hire
B-candidate they in turn will end up hiring B
candidates or B- or C candidates.<p>In startup scenario, have you seen or have you inspired B candidate to be an A candidate, could you please share stories successes and failures in
doing so?<p>For example, I am trying to find cases in
startup companies similar to
Seabiscuit(Movie/Horse) which is physically
average horse winning triple crown and its
trainer, jockey and owner are even greater
for accomplishments with Seabiscuit.
I know this isn't answering your question, but why would you want to inspire a B candidate to be an A candidate? Isn't that a waste of time when you can just wait for the A candidate?
nature vs nurture? In a start up, you don't have the time to nurture an employee. everyone is flat out doing what they do best, with little hand holding. B DNA will produce more B DNA.
