Hippo jobs is a fast growing web startup which focuses on the youth job market. I recently had a coffee with the super successful entrepreneur and General Manager of Hippo.com.au - James Masini.
The discussion found its way towards scaling up and staff requirements and structure.
Insert startup insight here:
The majority of his work force are currently in business development roles – read ‘sale people’. He’s currently recruiting a few more staff who’ll also be in Business Development - sale people.
Not coders, not techies, not marketers, not bean counters, not admin…. rain making, revenue generating, sales people. Simple.
