Someone recently asked me how I recruited the remote developer I am currently working with so I thought I'd reflect on this topic in today's episode.
Here is an outline of my process:
1. Figure out what you want. Ask a developer to help you draft your job listing.
2. Stand out - I created a short video that accompanied my listing.
3. Perform due diligence
4. Ask good questions
5. Don't be afraid to do more than one interview with the same candidate
6. De-risk as much as possible: Setup a pilot run
7. Be nice and friendly
8. Practice

My name is Hadi Yousef. I am an entrepreneur and I love solving problems. In this episode I talk about my experience in the customer discovery phase of building a SaaS company.
Customer discovery is the first main step in the process of building a SaaS product. The goal is to learn as much as possible about the industry/department/job you're building a product for. This is very important because you want to gather as much data as possible before you commit lots of resources to building a product. I never want to be in a position where I'm building something that I don't have full conviction in. The beauty of this step is that, if done right, it would remove a lot of ambiguity from the process of building and selling the product.
