Hiring Talent and Scaling

QuicklyBy Sunil Jagani

Create a recruitment marketing plan

• Treat your candidate funnel just how you treat your sales lead funnel!

• Build a solid recruitment marketing plan with clear goals to increase the volume of applicants and attract the right people!

• Define the ideal candidate profile, desired deadlines and necessary activities to reach your goals

Only hire “A players”

• Each new person you hire should be more talented than whoever you’ve already hired!

• This helps entrepreneurs build a continuously growing company

Look for potential future leaders

• Look to hire people with the potential to lead teams, as opposed to those who are just a great fit for the current position but lack enthusiasm or an ability to grow!

• You’ll create a flexible workforce and establish the groundwork for promoting from within

Don’t compromise on culture

• In this regard, “culture” means people with a set of values mirroring your company’s!

• People tend to respect and work well with those who share their values and achievements

Interview lots of candidates and move fast

• Interview a large number of candidates, then select who stands out among the white noise!

• When you find that person who stands out, move fast to grab them

Have a great training plan

• Have an effective on boarding plan in place for once you hire people!

• Clearly articulate the company’s values, challenges and culture!

• You’ll be able to better motivate your new hires
