Ep. 96: A Look Inside Small Business Recruiting with Ashley Mina

I always tell you to hire based on the role, not just the person you want... but today, I’m eating my words! At least I’m an honest hypocrite 😉

In this episode, I’m excited to introduce you to Ashley Mina, our newest team member at Paradigm. The moment I met Ashley, I knew we had to work together, so I created a whole new department just for her! (I know, do as I say, not as I do!)

Ashley’s here to share her insider insights about recruiting for small businesses. We got into:

• My fears around creating a whole new service and department
• Ashley’s transition from high-volume corporate recruiting to small business recruiting
• Balancing a “sales mindset” with a quality candidate experience
• Why small businesses should prioritize the candidate experience while hiring
• Trends Ashley is seeing in candidates applying to our clients’ small businesses vs. corporate roles
• The perks of using an external recruiter and hiring tips for DIY-ers
• Red and green flags in job descriptions
• Ashley’s advice for building diverse teams, even if you don’t come from a diverse background

Tune in to hear all of Ashley’s insider tips, why she’s such an amazing fit for our team, and how she can help yours!
