Hiring the right people is critical—but getting it wrong can cost you culture, credibility, and retention. In this session, Tova Angsuwat shares the most common mistakes startups make when hiring, and how to avoid them. You’ll learn why over-indexing on role-specific skills is risky, how the idea of 'culture fit' can hurt diversity, and what actually works when evaluating candidates in fast-paced environments. With a decade at Google and now as Founder of Series Build, Tova brings practical insights and immediately applicable hiring strategies for high-growth teams.
With five tracks running across the first‑ever Startup People Summit, even the most committed note‑takers couldn’t catch it all live.
