In this short video, the speaker argues that early-stage companies should prioritize hiring people who demonstrate initiative rather than those who boast impressive resumes from prestigious firms. While all‑stars from well‑known companies can be hired later, they often arrive with very high expectations and a sense of entitlement, expecting the organization to accommodate their needs. The speaker suggests that focusing on doers with a proactive attitude better serves a fledgling company’s needs.

I believe that in the early days of a company, it's worth hiring for initiative as opposed to experience. You can always hire the all-stars with the certain companies on their resume. The problem is, is that those people come in oftentimes with super high expectations for everyone else, for the company, stat— state, and like everything needs to be done for them. Sometimes they come in actually quite entitled.
