5 Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make While Hiring World's Greatest Boss

    • Entrepreneurship

Throughout my career, I’ve noticed five common hiring mistakes that the entrepreneurs, hiring managers, and founders tend to make. I break down exactly what those are and share different tools and strategies that you can put into place to avoid those same issues. I highlight some antiquated hiring and interview approaches that don’t work in today’s employment market, and explain how you can update your processes. I also have some tips for showing up prepared and confident to each interview, and creative ways to find the right person for your team. 
IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:
How to craft the right job title and description Simple strategies that make is easy for candidates to express interest How to give your employees development opportunities and buy-in during the interview process Why ‘try before you buy’ doesn't really make any sense, especially in an at-will employment state Making decisions based on a candidate’s scorecard and the 80/20 skill set rule
