Agree with Simran here, I think hiring your initial leader or the top
people is the most important decision you are going to take. Please have a
meeting f2f and short list few candidate and then spend as much as time
possible with them, take them to lunch/dinner and get to know them,
evaluate them
Hi - I suggest you put out some trial tasks and work with some people task
to task for a bit and develop a working relationship and once you have a
flow between you, then offer a full time gig. You've got to go beyond the
top level theory and 'traditional' approaches. There are lots of

Sure here are my 2cents,

Having built teams there, here's my 2cents worth :)
** what worked: image! people look for security - you need a good office,
branding on your front door (you won't believe how important this is!), the
image of a big company that isn't going anywhere, and of course benefits
like provident fund
Hi
Can I ask why your doing that? If its cost cutting then I highly recommend
against it, it will actually be more costly to your company in the end.
Ive been in software for over 12 years now and worked with all different
types of teams. Whenever I've delt with cheaper overseas developers
