# The Seed to Series A Hiring Journey
The transition from seed to Series A changes everything about how you hire.
Seed Stage Hiring
- Every hire is critical - Equity is your main currency - Prioritize generalists who thrive in ambiguity
The Series A Transition
- You have capital to hire faster - There is pressure to scale - Process becomes more important
Series A Hiring
- First sales hire if not already - First dedicated recruiter - Engineering managers
Building Infrastructure
- Structured interview process - Consistent evaluation rubrics - ATS (Ashby, Lever, Greenhouse)
The Bottom Line
The seed-to-A transition requires evolving from founder-driven to process-driven hiring.
