Practical guidance for framing a hiring decision. This is an approach guide, not a published research edition.
Decide whether the first hire must win business, build a platform, manage delivery or combine these responsibilities.
Look at relevant competitors, adjacent sectors and cross-border experience. Test assumptions about who could make the move.
Separate launch-critical roles from those that can follow. Clarify local responsibilities and support from the wider organisation.
