Build the role before you hire the person.

Your First Overseas Hire is for entrepreneurs who know they need help but do not want to hand a stranger a loose collection of tasks and hope for the best. It provides a practical way to identify the work that should leave your calendar, define a real role, evaluate candidates, and set a new teammate up to succeed.

The ideas come from Zack Allen's experience building an international team inside his own ecommerce business and later founding Talented, an international recruiting company for growing businesses.
