Stanley Lee In your opinion, do you think recruiting a new member for a small team resembling those making up the "start-up" companies is equivalent in concept of a typical firm's HR and technical teams recruiting a new employee? Also great to hear your explanations. Thanks.

Josh Allan Dykstra: Hey Stanley, I feel like there's a really interesting question in there but I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Can you give us a little more?

There are two scenarios: (1) a typical company with a hiring manager working with human resources hiring a new employee, (2) a small team making up a startup recruiting a new team member.

In my mind these are very different scenarios, mostly due to the stage of the "lifecycle" the organization is in. In a startup, the environment is all about energy and quick movement whereas in an organization mature enough to have a hiring manager and HR Dept, the atmosphere is much more structured and systemized. (More on the lifecycle concept in Ichak Adizes' book "Corporate Lifecycles" -- a good read.)

The hiring manager is sort of in the same position as a "Secret Santa" for someone they don't really know. They're out there looking for a gift, but they don't really know if the other person is going to like it or not.
