At a start-up company, hiring is often done by the company's founder. Since founders are often experts in fields far removed from the expertise they are looking for in employees, hiring decisions in early-stage start-ups can result in poor matches between the company and the employee. Enough poor matches can make it nearly impossible for such a company to succeed in the marketplace.
Which of the following, if true, points to the most serious flaw of a start-up founder's plan to outsource hiring to a firm that specializes in matching employees and early-stage start-up companies?
(A) It is not well understood why founders often make poor choices when selecting new employees for their companies.
(B) If a founder is successful in hiring an employee that is a good match for his company, he or she will not necessarily be successful the next time a new employee must be hired.
(C) While founders tend to make decisions quickly, firms that handle hiring decisions for start-up companies interview more candidates and take longer to select an employee.
(D) Firms that handle hiring decisions for start-ups rarely use interviewers who have the expertise that a start-up company is looking for in a given employee.
(E) The average starting salary paid to employees selected by outside firms is considerably higher than the average starting salary paid to employees hired directly by a start-up's founder.

we have to find a choice that says founder is better than hiring.
option D does the job

I also think its D, I was torn between C and E but again, neither time nor costs were mentioned hence C and E do not BEST weaken the argument. Hence, D.
