Ask HN: How do you hire outside your competencies?
Title. For example, say a founder doesn't have sales experience or electronics experience. How should they evaluate and hire a salesperson or an electrical engineer?
I know the other way around is basically the norm: how does one know the company, the seller, will actually provide the product after paying. But the prevailing culture, currently, is that companies in this regard are trustworthy and customers are not. It's a bit debatable but it makes sense.
