Episode 110: Team Spirit and Half-hearted Recruiting

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions:

1. How do I help foster team spirit in a newly created team?

2.

I work for small startup (fewer than 10 people). My boss wants to hire another developer and asked me to look around for people. 3.

I don’t feel particularly strongly about this team. I’ve been there for about a year, but I don’t imagine myself working there for another twelve months. 4.

I don’t want to refer my friends because I don’t want them to join a team I don’t feel good about. 5.

On the other hand, I want to work with great people. I see how other devs may enjoy working in such an environment, but it’s just not for me. 6.

In the long run, I obviously want to leave this job, but what would you recommend doing in short term? Is hiring under such circumstances really that different than hiring if I liked this team? 7.
