If you\u2019re able to build a strong, distinct identity ahead of time, you streamline the process significantly as candidates will already be at least somewhat familiar with your mission statement.<\/p>\n<p>Making use of relevant brand ambassadors is an incredibly effective way of forming this identity, reducing your reliance on recruiters to convey this vital message. Great leadership also goes a long way in attracting strong talent, and don\u2019t undervalue the impact of speaking at conferences to help boost your brand recognition within your desired talent pool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Have you ever considered taking your product to a market that was more ready for you?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<article class=\"article-wide modular-push section\" data-section=\"Marleen Vogelaar - founder and CEO @Ziel &amp; co-founder @Shapeways\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"big\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Key highlights\">\n<div class=\"c\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-llf78tgy-2631765321dce0f7a06c69e1fb82e343\">\n.avia-image-container.av-llf78tgy-2631765321dce0f7a06c69e1fb82e343 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-llf78tgy-2631765321dce0f7a06c69e1fb82e343 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-llf78tgy-2631765321dce0f7a06c69e1fb82e343 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-1315 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1315 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/1655805694-001-150-1440x1020.jpg\" alt='Techleap female founder smiling at founder community event' title='Techleap female founder smiling at founder community event'  height=\"1020\" width=\"1440\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/1655805694-001-150-1440x1020.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/1655805694-001-150-260x185.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-llxv81wo-5c85a5ed774b4e0dbf0b4a2d8336a450 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"What problem were you trying to solve with Bynder?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"How did you experience the process of finding the ultimate pizza recipe that you could scale for Magioni?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Looking back, what was the first MVP of a VanMoof bike and how did you know you have a product-market fit?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"It seems like you have developed different functionalities before you could actually go to market.

Ask your team where the talent is, what events they go to, what podcasts they listen to\u2014it\u2019s only logical that you make use of what is right in front of you, particularly when budgets are tight.<\/p>\n<p>There is one caveat with this, however. Hiring this way can limit diversity as your search is usually confined to people with values similar to your existing workforce, so make sure your recruitment approach strikes a good balance. Scaleups must be aware that hiring diverse talent means you should be open to hire for a \u2018culture-add\u2019 not just a \u2018culture-fit\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3>Optimisation meets ambition<\/h3>\n<p>Recruiting is a time to be ambitious, and definitely isn\u2019t a time to cut corners. You need to think 2-4 years ahead, hire people who are more senior than they need to be at present so they can help you grow.<\/p>\n<p>Look for below-executive level top employees from your competitors who want to make the step up to executive level, and use your advisory board to convince more senior talent to join in cases where you can\u2019t match their current salary.<\/p>\n<h3>Flaunt your values<\/h3>\n<p>A crucial part of cementing that concrete brand identity is wearing your values proudly on your sleeve for all potential candidates to see. From there, they\u2019ll have a much clearer idea whether these values are in line with their own, saving your business a huge amount of both time and money.<\/p>\n<p>Younger generations now look for a greater sense of purpose when it comes to work, meaning while it can be trickier to find the perfect match, once you do, they are vastly driven and loyal if that alignment is present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Have you ever considered taking your product to a market that was more ready for you?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<article class=\"article-wide modular-push section\" data-section=\"Marleen Vogelaar - founder and CEO @Ziel &amp; co-founder @Shapeways\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"big\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Key highlights\">\n<div class=\"c\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lmj7kv1t-52c0ea74838c75e04166e1cb96d3156f\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lmj7kv1t-52c0ea74838c75e04166e1cb96d3156f img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lmj7kv1t-52c0ea74838c75e04166e1cb96d3156f .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lmj7kv1t-52c0ea74838c75e04166e1cb96d3156f av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-1314 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1314 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/1655805850-001-154-1440x1020.jpg\" alt='Two founders community event' title='Two founders community event'  height=\"1020\" width=\"1440\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/1655805850-001-154-1440x1020.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/1655805850-001-154-260x185.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lmj7lmrk-4af8529d2d8fe0335e6f978ce2ffea08 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"What problem were you trying to solve with Bynder?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"How did you experience the process of finding the ultimate pizza recipe that you could scale for Magioni?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"Looking back, what was the first MVP of a VanMoof bike and how did you know you have a product-market fit?\">\n<div class=\"c\">\n<div class=\"modular-text section\" data-section=\"It seems like you have developed different functionalities before you could actually go to market.
