Huel, a UK-based meal replacement startup, has focused on hiring as a significant factor in its growth.
Julian Hearn, the cofounder of UK-based meal replacement startup Huel, said that hiring is one of the most important things for founders to get right. "One of them is being based outside of London," he said. "It means that competition in the area is a lot lower than it would be for talent in London. We're able to cherry-pick the people that we want and there's not many companies competing for those people."
He shunned the traditional recruitment agencies. "They're so expensive in my eyes," he said, adding that they don't understand the business as well as an internal recruiter. Huel is a big fan of Indeed because it is a very cost effective way of finding people, Hearn said. "You can normally get someone for less than £200 in advertising." The company often hires people with no experience if they can show they're intelligent, hard-working, and have a degree of integrity. LinkedIn is slightly better for hiring more senior people as you can search by things like skills, experience, and previous employers, he said.
