The first rule of hiring right? Make sure you have the "Cha-Ching" to do so. (Good people don't come cheap - salary, benefits, taxes, it's a real doozy!) If your bank account looks like a sad trombone solo, hold off on the hiring spree.
But if your bank account is looking happy and you're ready to hire, let's attract the ✨ right people ✨. Here's what your business needs to shout from the rooftops (and job boards):
✅Your business clearly articulates what it does. Don't make them guess! Be clear about what makes your agency awesome.
✅Your business clearly defines its mission. (Like, Your Actual Mission, Not "World Domination")
✅You have clearly defined corporate values. Don't just list buzzwords. Show them what it's really like to work at your agency.
✅You provide some insight into your culture. Let them know what being part of the team is all about.
✅You publicize what benefits you offer. Health insurance, paid time off - the good stuff!
Be honest across the board! No BSing allowed. If they find out later, it's a recipe for goodbye.
Now, let's talk about the hiring process magic ✨.
Here's our hiring process:
1. Job posting goes live! We blast it out to all the job boards .
2. Applications pour in! We sort through them and pick the top contenders.
3. Phone screening time! We chat with the shortlist to see if they're a good fit. Test time! We send a test to see their skills and how they'd fit in.
4. Top scorers get a video interview! Time to see their faces and personalities.
5. Final interview - bullseye! We ask specific questions based on their test to see if they're the real deal. We discuss each candidate and decide who's the ultimate champion. (Yes, You have veto power )
Remember, hard skills get you to the shortlist, but soft skills and culture fit win the !
Early on, prioritize experience over raw potential. These folks will lighten the load for future hires (and all the training that comes with them!).
