Day 19- My journey towards entrepreneurship Hiring a talent is a tedious task, even for a intern position. Recently, i was looking for someone who can handle social media and build a brand story to push majorly for tier 2,3 cities. Out of 50 applicants, 70% were from IIMs. Now I don't really understand if it's their industry teams or brand name, but most of them don't want to work for the value, everyone wants hefty stipend, because, why not, it's an IIM brand. I don't support work for free but going beyond crafted budget even makes very hard to go for a good candidate. Do you guys have any solution? Especially I wanna ask medial team!

Stop looking for IIT & IIM students, go for some general university passout candidates with good skill because these branded candidates either ask for equity or pay without negotiation.

I myself won't work for anyone in same situation. To make them feel satisfied with your penny pay and work for your startup, you'll require some validation, that what you are building shall be world changing idea or put a dent in universe sort of thing. They should feel proud of joining your cause. If you can't make them believe that it's going to be very difficult to hire them. What people don't seem to understand is you cannot get people this smart to work this hard just for money. Try not to hire IIM for now and search among remaining 30 percent.
