Nice idea though what happens is you manage to quickly recruit the person and then a month later the other job that they’ve been slowly recruited on, eventuates and they walk off, leaving you worse off than if you never hired them.

Personally I just try to find people that have already experienced years of pain of big companies and rejoice in the freedom most startups offers.

Good point.

So both tactics are even better? Fast offer making to candidates you judge are less likely to leave once hired?
