Hire less and hire later from "summary" of Rework by Jason Fried,David Heinemeier Hansson
When you're growing a business, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you need to hire more people to keep up with demand. But hiring too quickly can actually do more harm than good. Sure, having more hands on deck might help you get more work done in the short term, but it can also lead to inefficiencies and a bloated workforce in the long run. Instead of hiring more people right away, consider focusing on making the most of the team you already have. Look for ways to streamline processes, eliminate bottlenecks, and maximize efficiency. By doing this, you may find that you don't actually need to hire anyone new after all.
If you do eventually reach a point where you absolutely need to bring on more help, don't rush into it. Take the time to carefully consider what skills and experience you need, and make sure that the new hire will truly add value to your team. Hiring the wrong person can be a costly mistake, so it's important to be patient and thorough in your search.
By taking a more measured approach to hiring, you can avoid the pitfalls of overstaffing and ensure that you're building a strong, efficient team that will help your business thrive in the long term. Remember, it's not about hiring more people—it's about hiring the right people at the right time.
