Finding the Best Talent
In my previous role, I was given the opportunity to build my first team. I inherited a team of three and, as our team’s services became more popular, I grew the team to 22. This meant that, in a relatively short period of time, I wrote about 20 job descriptions, reviewed about 1,000 résumés, conducted about 200 interviews, hired about 30 people, and then observed the results. I’ll tell you upfront that not all of my hires worked out, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I learned some valuable lessons, which I’ve attempted to summarize below in the form of hiring Do’s and Don’ts.
