Here is another consideration: have something to give them in return. Ask why would very talented people want to work for you. I had a very bad experience working for people who were not as experienced as me, nor as resourceful or with good leadership skills. Other than the salary, I didn’t feel like I was getting much from them. I eventually quit and in hindsight, I shouldn’t have accepted the job.
Yeah I guess that’s another prereq. I think you can make up for it some by having good work for people to do. I would rather work on a cool or valuable thing with amateurs than something lame with pros.
