Hiring Playbook

Resource, by AlbionVC

We are on a mission to help early-stage founders build high-performing teams. It starts with getting hiring done right. 

Why does hiring matter? Over the first five years, B2B Software Unicorns hire 3 to 4 leaders a year, every year’ (Erevena)

AlbionVC Hiring Playbook is a digital tool that founders of early-stage technology companies can use to take them through all the steps in the hiring process. The playbook aims to provide objectivity, clarity and alignment for everyone involved in the hiring process. It saves you time, money and effort and helps ensure you are recruiting the best possible team.

Originally created to support AlbionVC backed founders and their teams, since 2021 the Hiring Playbook has been used across sectors and geographies. 110 hires have been made using the tool across Sales, Product, Engineering, Talent, Marketing and for board roles.

For the first time ever we are giving access to our digital tool to other founders.

What is AlbionVC Hiring Playbook?

The AlbionVC Hiring Playbook provides a six-stage plan to help you set-up to run a stellar hiring process and make a great hiring decision.

The stages include defining what great looks like in the role, creating a candidate profile, developing a scorecard, building a hiring team, creating an assessment plan, and engaging with candidates.

How long will I have access?
We are granting early access to our beta program until 30th August 2023.
What happens after 30th August and why?
You will continue to have access to your completed playbook but won’t be able to edit it any longer. This is so we can run an optimisation phase, where we refine and test the hiring playbook further, before releasing the final version.
