Do founders and recruiters lack the skills to identify potential talent for their organization? I'm saying this because most startup founders or recruiters in any company tend to hire experienced individuals or people from prestigious institutes only. My take is that they must be lacking the necessary skills and abilities to identify potential freshers who can contribute to their company. That is why they play it safe by hiring only already proven candidates. What's your opinion on this? If you have hired freshers or someone whose background is not so strong, how did you hire them? How did you know they would be valuable for your company, and how did you first meet them?

I mean even I wouldn’t take the risk of getting a fresher in the first go, due to several reasons (amongst which some are mentioned already) but you can not trust your fresher hires from the get go, it takes time for them to understand the discipline, routine, the definition of structure and accountability. At the heart of it many things are beneficial about getting an experienced person on the team is suggestions during building and fundraising.

Or just MAYBE the other perspective can be that they only want people who have more networking effects with them, more than their expertise, lets be honest, we all are more or less the same, only differences being our background, mentality, situations and networks.
