Hiring, training, and managing candidates - is a skill that people aren’t born with.
Hiring, training, and managing candidates - is a skill that people aren’t born with.
Sure, you can read books and articles, watch Youtube videos, take courses, etc…
But when the time comes to do it - the average Technology business owner is going to learn by trial and error…
Hiring Mistake #1 - No Talent Acquisition Pipeline
The business owner is fed up of making up for the skill shortage in their team all day every day.
They finally decide, it’s time to hire a Senior sales executive, Director or a C level professional.
They go into a recruiting frenzy when they need someone to start right now.
So they reach out to their network…
Try to use all their connections…
Then, they get tons of average CV’s…
Their inbox is flooded.
They’re overwhelmed.
So they’ll talk to maybe 4 or 5 - because they can’t possibly talk to them all…
And quickly hire a candidate.
And because the hiring process is rushed, they end up with an adequate candidate who might be looking for a job…
But miss out on the top performers who are already happily performing in the role and so might not be actively looking…
Never hire at the last minute.
If you plan on hiring later this year, you need to start the process NOW.
