Find Your Skill Gaps
Analyse your current team — their experience and skillset — then identify where you're short and rank the gaps that matter most to your roadmap.
Current Team Experience & Skillset
Analyse your current team
List the key skills, backgrounds and strengths already in your team.
Where do you have depth? Where are you thin?
Skill Gaps
What areas do you have skill gaps?
Be specific. Which capabilities are missing entirely? Which are covered but not at the level you need?
Ranked Priorities
Rank them in order of importance
Which gaps are most important to achieving your roadmap? Put them in order and justify each one.
Ask: can we solve this with tools, training or contractors before committing to a full-time hire?
Example
1. Design — we need to hire 1x senior Designer, no-one on the team has a design background or skills.
2. Engineering — we have 3 Founding SWEs / Technical founders, but engineering bandwidth will need to increase over the next 3 months. Can we use more AI coding tools to increase bandwidth instead?
3. GTM — we will then need to hire an expert to lead our GTM function; currently our founders are doing this with limited success.
Tip: Be honest about whether a gap really needs a hire right now. Some gaps are better solved with tools, training or a contractor until the need becomes permanent.
