Don't delegate – do it yourself. Entrepreneurs need to get their hands dirty. Richard Branson insists on being involved with all senior-level hiring decisions (he even flies candidates out to Necker Island for interviews). He also highlights that in the early stages of business, owners need to hire their weaknesses. 'Where you personally could improve, go and seek out that quality in others'.

Prioritise character over the CV. When hiring, Richard Branson states that CEOs shouldn't put too much emphasis on the applicant's past experience. Cultivating a diverse team, will lead to better and more creative business decisions and solutions. Applicant's personalities should be allowed to shine through during the interview.

Be aware of candidates who want to be 'set free'.Some candidates choose to look for a new job within a start-up because of the reduced structure and increased freedom. However, some candidates aren't suited to the responsibilities that come with having freedom at work and need structure.
