I think that usually means "we can't see our business evolving in ways that benefit from the input of people we hire". My view is that if someone you hire does not change and leave a mark on your business they were a mistake. Too many people just have really narrow roles in mind.
This is where my head was on this whole undertaking. I assumed that the people she'd engage with would immediately see the potential in the individual - not whether or not the intersection of the resume and job description was a 100% match.
Yeah it just doesnt work like that with most startups. But you can find those people eventually. Thy have been in the business for a bit longer in my experience. Look for companies that have grown self funded for five years or so not new startups. They have worked through the people give us new potential thing more.
