Hiring the First Employee

Make the first hire a multiplier, not a mistake.

prompt.txt
Act as a pragmatic early-stage founder advisor. The task is planning the first hire for an early startup. Context: [what is breaking without this hire, budget, must-have skills, my management experience].

1. Write the role as outcomes for the first 90 days.
2. Separate must-haves from trainable gaps.
3. Design a paid trial task that mirrors the real work.
4. List what I must personally stop doing once they start.

Make it specific to my context and immediately usable. Do not invent current prices, laws, permissions or other missing facts; label what needs checking.
